    Thank you, Clint. I picked the purple razor because it matched the soap. That felt weird to even type.
    Thanks, Andrew.
    Thanks, Jim. Just for Him gift shop in St. Louis is where I got it. It was a limited edition, so not a lot of places have it in stock. If you find some place with the matching EdT, please let me know.

    My MMOC is by far my most aggressive razor. I have to run the cap almost flat against my face and keep a VERY light touch. It has some weight on it, and the weight does the work. The angle is far different from my other razors.

    I have whittled my regimen down to two passes if I am taking my time, or one for a quick morning cleanup. The first pass takes care of hair anyone will see or notice. The second is more for personal satisfaction.

    I had a MMOC a while back. It was a beast! I ended up selling it because it was tough to tame.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    I thought I had kept the pressure off but clearly this thing needs even more care. I was surprised, and not too pleasantly, this morning when my neck burned during my shower just from the soap. Talk about some left over irritation. I knew it was a bit fiery with the alum last night but had no idea it would last the night.

    Don't know what I did right today but my head only took 1 pass with a couple spots cleanup and my face was 1 pass wtg also. Gave it a couple strokes across the grain here and there for good measure. Splash of some witch hazel and Gillette after shave and done . That's my report for today.

    Thank you, Clint. I'd agree that there is a similarity in many of my photos. It is a fine line between consistency and boredom...:scared003:

    Finally was able to sit down last night and get this razor cleaned up. I haven’t been able to use it before today. But it was a bbs shave!!
