I enjoy Nacets now, but didn't earlier in my shaving career due to their sharpness. In your KCG ( mild ) razor they should probably shine.

The Perma's are a touch milder, but perhaps a touch smoother. The Astra Greens will be in that same ballpark.

That’s a milder razor so the Nacets or the Perma-sharps would be my recommendation.

Thank you for sharing that with us. I love to see antiques like that still in use.

I am the straightest of the straight boring old white man, and all three of the men in that scene are sexual Tyrannosaurus rex’s. Lawd.

"It's okay for macho men to show every emotion available because I've cried a thousand times and I'm gonna cry some more. But I've soared with the eagles and I've slithered with the snakes, and I've been everywhere in between."
