Pretty nuts eh?

I was happy to quiet down two monkeys this week with only a tiny outlay of cash. I was the last leg of the King Cobra tour being passed around another forum and I had seen some reviews about it that intrigued me.

The Mongoose is on loan from a very generous member who graciously let me test drive it. Talk about a break using that so fast since it was sure making me curious about the shave. Whew, what a relief.

Oh, when it comes to my glaucoma prevention herbal remedy, I self medicate.

Another go at trying to get a good shave from this antique torture instrument. It's way too bitey for me, although after my skin has calmed down it does feel very smooth.
