The Branch: A Birthday Buy

I have quit buying shave stuff since moving to SC. Today was my birthday, and I got some birthday money, so I decided to spend it on a new razor. I have long been enamored by the Leaf Twig. I even had a chance to try one out as a loaner. Since then they have come up with and improved Leaf Branch. The handle is different, and it has increased weight. After reading reviews, I decided to use my birthday money to get a Leaf Branch for my collection.

This razor uses a half-double edge razor blade. Since I am using birth year razors for my October shaves, I will pull out the Branch for November shaves.

Birthday Invite

My son, David, made up an invitation to get us to go to his house to celebrate my 79th birthday. He used some AI to do it. 1947 was an incredible year.

I am looking forward to some Great Steaks and Better Company.
