Fifty years ago (I was six years old and in first grade) the president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was gunned down in Dallas, Texas.  For the next several days, a stunned nation watched the funeral on live  TV (black and white, but the first live broadcast of that scale). I still remember the muffled beat of the drum, snare off, as the caisson carrying the casket and the honor guard processed through Washington to Arlington National Cemetery.

Yes, I know that the Milord is my favorite razor.  I will be using other razors thus month.  The Cobra, the Merkur Progress, the Merkur and iKon slants, and the Gillette Black Beauty adjustable and the Fat Boy are all in the wings. So many razors, so little time.
