I’ll have to get Captains Choice Bowl in Brass.

It took two razors to shave today… because two razors were delivered from Max Sprecher yesterday.

They are the first razors ever, for me, to shave “right out of the box”.  After a few strokes, I stropped the edges… and they responded with a few laps.  The steel is just right.  Many modern razors are as hard as carbide so that silica and leather are not very useful for polishing the edges.

I wonder if my smooth face will get me a Valentine's kiss?

Night Music has received well beyond its fair allotment of contempt over the years, yet it remains one of my favorites from Barrister and Mann.
