April 2017 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

You know what I think? Toss em after two. I wear em out quickly too, and I toss even Feather AC blades after four. I don't care if people are getting fourteen + out of them, I can get three or four and then I can't do my neck anymore without feeling like I am ripping hair out by the roots. Still way cheaper than carts, and I'm not gonna quibble over a few cents a shave if it means I'm not getting weepers on my neck. If you throw em out after two for a while, you'll know it isn't the blade. You may be Frugal Frank, but you can't be that frugal.

 

Brand new stick for the month?

 

Cool photo. Way to do a steampunk look without an edit app.

 

I suppose that's true.

Maybe you just need a bottle of Shave Secret and you can go all @Robyflexx .

If I tell you that I cut the grass in my work pants when they start to fray, still have my Serggio Tachini's from the 80's, etc.

Welllllll

OK, for me, I just like to see how far a blade can go. You are right, I cannot stand the feeling of a dull or not so sharp blade. For those who can get away using a less sharp blade, when it starts to dull, THAT is how a new blade feels to me unless it is one of the sharper variety. Cheap, isn't really the issue. I still have lots of sample pack blades to go through and I give each a very fair shot. This is going to take some time to go through all of them. So far, my post script lists those that served me the best.

I just like to get my money's worth. Do you know how expensive it is to live in the NYC metropolitan area? I need to be. I have less than 1400 sq ft on less than .2 acre and pay $14K in taxes. Cannot wait for my daughter to get out of school to move to a cheaper neighborhood.

got to pinch every penny.

Krylon at my house again today. What a great little razor. The little 5/8 razors sure seem to work around the corner of my jaw well. So far I easily get the best shaves from them.

 

@Robyflexx

 

Very cool looking brush.

 

Jared, I very much appreciate your generosity! I have plenty of hardware and software, so would you please donate an item for me to the raffle? Much appreciated!

 

My first unicorn...I'm welling up!

 

Certainly, good sir.

 

Wow! Some of us can only dream

 

That gives me an idea. Or two or three. Stay tuned.

 

Wonderful picture, Doug!
