Thanks Russ. I still need to step up my photo game to be like you!
As for the Dundee knife, I love that Mick switched from using his DE razor only when the Sue approached him. Gotta be the man!

BTW, your Dire Straits selection today is a classic. Sultans of Swing will be stuck in my head all day now! Mark Knopfler is a guitar wizard...I wonder what he chooses for shave gear? :001_rolle

Your consistency is indeed commendable. Sometimes wish I would commit to a single routine instead of playing the field. Hope you continue to enjoy your shaves and share them with us.
