  2. Are you doing skin stretching for ATG? Rub your fingers on your Alum bar to have a little better grip on soapy skin, and go with very short strokes. That helped me a lot when I was getting cuts in the same area.
  3. Even a little bit of snow makes Porsche’s squirrelly to get around in. We all are feeling for you.

  7. :happy102:The girls are the reason I can't afford a nicer car. I always knew women were expensive, I just never appreciated how expensive.
  8. A couple of days worth:

    Part of making the month decadent was just taking the time to touch up a bunch of razors and get them back into that “Wicked Sharp”ballpark.

    I spent quite a little time trying to tell if this knot is the same as a Tuxedo. I have read in several spots online (so it must be true) that both Stirling and AP Shave are sourcing them from Yaqui. The fibers seem to be identical, the glue bump is the same, and I can’t tell them apart. So that said, with Stirling selling them at $12.00 a throw, you would be hard pressed to find a better deal. And, IMO, the handles are great.

    Soap Commander is the vegan soap that’s full of fat. Or something. There is no way a veggie soap could be this slick. Just sayin.....
  9. It makes a world of difference. But be careful. It stops your fingers from slipping, and has the same effect on your razor. You will need to plan things out a bit. Clear a spot of skin first, then stretch from there. Work outwards.

  10. I promise I hear you. I am grateful that the women in my world are beautiful and take care of themselves. But holy crap is their stuff expensive. I could shove Panna Crema down my drain with a tongue depressor.....

    Sure beats the alternative.

  15. I’m not retired yet like you guys; still slaving away making the ice cream hoping to have one of those senior citizen trikes by the time I’m done. Maybe I can use it to impress the ladies...

  16. On the bright side, I think I just figured out who ate all the cookies around here. Toothbrush PIF anyone?
