Now that I possess something akin to competence with a DE, I reckon its time to up the ante. Hence my first attempt at wielding a Shavette; VERY cautiously! Two slow and careful passes, (WTG and then some XTG then WTG some more). Took me a while but I'm happy to report only a couple of very minor cuts and a little bit of irritation; nothing like the kind of carnage I'd been expecting. Finished off ATG with the Tech rather than push my luck any further for now. It's going to take a lot more practise to get competent, but all said, I'm pretty damned pleased.

Nice, Matt. I am beginning to detect a theme in your recent pics. Do you have enough holiday sets to do the whole twelve days of Christmas thing?

Yes. I actually have 5 divisions of my sets: Fall, Winter/Christmas, Spring/Summer, year-round, and Novelty.
