    Well, spelling trouble for Adam anyway. Imagine "the look" backed up by Natalia for the "muscle". I just shuddered.

    Thanks!
    I'm glad I have the DE option.
    If I only had a straight razor, shaving would be bloody interesting sometimes. Haven't had that gonna push thru aditude yet, it's not a job or even somthing I have to do, just somthing I want to try.
    Good advice!

    Still don't know why it interest me using a straight, but it does. Guess it's just my time for the next level of shaving.

    That's an intimidating razor, Keith. What's the advantage, if any, of the curved blade?

    Feather HS
    Simpson Chubby 2 Synthetic
    MDC Original "Le Bol En Bois"
    Chatillon Lux Champs de Lavande Toner and Aftershave
    ADP Cedro di Taormina

    Working my way through "Le Bol En Bois' for three years and finally getting close to the end. Today's shave was a 'screaming close' two pass BBS after some minor cleanup along that infamous jawline. Chubby 2 Tortoise Synthetic is a lather monster that worked up some major suds. Going with the Chatillon Lux Lavender combo and sealed the deal with ADP Cedro. I am one smooth, sweet smelling cowboy today! Have a great shave and a memorable weekend gentlemen.

    It was. Having become pretty proficient with straights, and having completed 3 passes with the CJB, I’d gone back to the chin for a couple quick touch up strokes. Key word here being quick; a word that should not be used in the same sentence with shavette. Ironically, quick is how the cut happened as well. Compared to a straight, the blade angle of the CJB is a bit more perpendicular and the blade is a bit sharper; a combo that can turn a good shave to a bad one very quickly and without warning. Lesson learned.
