Re: Squid with an interest in good shaving.

Re: Squid with an interest in good shaving.

Speaking of shaving in boot camp. We I arrived in Chicago at the airport, I trimmed my beard off in the restroom with a pocket knife ( which was in my carry on). I can remember seeing blood in every sink for at least two weeks in boot. We had one kid who would not shave, even told the Chief "yo...

Re: DIY Safety Razor Handle

Mine was also the product of an afternoon well spent, but this one's not as pretty as yours. Yours is beautiful and obviously functional. Very impressive! The extra mass and length will certainly improve the performance of the head. http://s3.postimg.org/9bixtmsc3/DSC07643.jpg http://s3.postimg.org...

TW, was that one of the personnas I sent you that I mentioned might be a bad batch? I had one bad one, I could shave with it, but it wasn't pleasant- lots of weepers. Maybe the entire batch of those personna labs is junk. yup, same issue as you had. on a brighter note i was able to take a few minut...
