    Actually the Hussy is much easier because it has something to hold onto that acts like a handle.

    May 17 (Wednesday ) - adjustable focus

    Gillette Slim on 3 / Topaz Platinum ( 2 )
    Supply Provision synthetic brush
    Red Green Duct Tape Special frankensoap
    Alum and Clubman VIBR

    Today was my second shave with a Slim. This razor surprises me. I had owned a Fatboy and a Black Beauty and put getting a Slim low on my list because I assumed there would be very little difference between the other two and it. I was wrong. The Slim is just a bit lighter than the Fatboy with a head that is just slightly thinner, and it is just slightly shorter in the handle than the BB with the balance just a tiny bit less head heavy. The overall result, however, is a razor that feels much better balanced and much nimbler than either of the other two. It's a real pleasure to use.

    Tomorrow and Friday I will use the BB for a couple shaves, then will shift to the Fatboy for a couple.

    Welcome aboard! This is a great group with a lot of shaving knowledge. There are also quite a bit of shinanigans that you can just enjoy. As you develop your skills and have questions, we can help sort them out. We love pictures and helping technique improve.

    Do I fall on the Wile E. Coyote or Mr. Miyagi side?

    Some of us have been so deep in Mayhem that our family members are worried about us, and our coworkers are asking questions. Therefore, before I tape another razor blade to my finger, I am going to let all the scabs heal. Someone else needs to pick up the torch.

    I was quite confident in my ability to wow the Mayhem this year. Then @wchnu comes waltzing in like a chubby fuzzy redhead at a comicon and steals the show. My hat's off to you, sir. I have a few more stunts planned before my third attempt this month of taping a razor blade to my index finger, but I am pretty sure you are winning.
