Great interview. And I like reading that Chris does not go for all the passes that I felt had to be done. I can not imagine for the life of me liking to do one pass with the grain and being satisfied with the shave, even if I used a Feather straight!! I shave in the shower, so I have missed out on the Moss scuttle, but wow, that was a nice piece to read.

Entertaining and educational. Thanks Chris. I do think that the Moss VLB should have had more mention though.

What more was there to be said? I thought Chris did a good job of explaining it.

Thanks, Ravi. I read that part of the interview but missed the acronym.

As good as the artilcle was, it barely touched on Dr. Moss' vast knowledge of brushes, creams, and soaps - known here familiarly as the Shelves of Shame and the Great Northern Hoard. Then opera - but that's an entirely different field.

Porter, Yes, opera, English literature, Latin quotations, God knows what all. Quite the Renaissance man is our Dr. Moss.

A great interview, Dr M. Nevertheless, I'm still terrified of straight razors and cringe at the thought of what I would do to my face with one; they're called "cutthroats" for a reason...shudder, shudder. I do, however, love my small Moss Scuttle.
