Very nice. The top two I use, the bottom Wade and Butcher I need to get restored.

Very nice. I've been using my Great Grandfather's straight razor of late.

Wildrover remarked that he was “looking forward to the end of razor bumps”, while X-Man wrote: “Many of the men pictured there keep trim around the edges.”.
A great many men do trim around the edges. But the only sure way to be free of razor bumps (and for that matter, the prickliness of new growth) is to let it all grow wild.

PS: I had my beard trimmed for my daughter’s wedding last Saturday, but none of it was shaved, and I now plan to let it grow so that I really look like Santa next Christmas.

Well, while this is technically true in a 'the only way to be sure you won't drown is never to go in the water' kind of a way, proper facial prep, good products and good technique can go a very long way. Many are the tales of men getting bad shaves who start using straights and solve their problems quickly.

But I think a big bushy Santa beard is a great idea. Go for it!

That looks like a restoration.

I use a shavette while making two razors. Should have them done by the beginning of the year.

Nice! I'm sporting a handlebar moustache and goatee right now myself, but even many of the men pictured there keep trim around the edges.

How are you guys checking your prostate temp?!? Also complements on the straight razors. I use a wade and butcher extra hollow ground circa 1870's. I am looking to get another W&B meatchopper with a butchers notch. I like that monkey tail razor a few posts back. those go for big money!

I think it's a fair question for those that said their prostate temperature is fine....

Why? Are you worried that your's may be too cold?

Considering where one has to go to gain access to it to get an accurate reading, I would say that this is one of those rare cases where I'll gladly remain uninformed. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss...especially when getting the information is literally a pain in the a$$.

I'm not having issues, so I would have to assume that its temperature is within the range that would allow proper function. It's in the "Goldilocks Zone," not too hot, not too cold.

I suppose a more accurate statement would be "I see no need to warm it."
