Shave of the Day - 2024

[Gargravarr]

Yeah, that's what I meant. Recovery from keyhole is not insignificant but very thankful I had that option. I only had to resort to opioid based pain killers once post op.

Mine was an umbilical and a very large inguinal hernia, both fixed at the same time. The nurse came around 3 times with the pethideine, huge great tablets designed for rear entry (probably to discourage me ) but I didn't care, I just said "do it to me". Can't have been much fun for her.

I agree. Steve Colling's razor quality is up there with Ralf Aust of Germany. I believe that they both use the same blanks supplier.

Both Steve and Ralf could improve upon their edge finishes but that is just a personal preference for me.
