    I do agree. It is not over powering but has a nice "kick" of menthol to it. I am really enjoying it. No problem with the eyes what so ever and the performance of the soap is top notch. I would not have any problem recommending this soap.

    Saw on one of Glen's videos where he fessed up to not always doing it, even though he recommended it. Bet he drug at least one edge across the rocks in his time.

    Thanks.
    Unless someone is prone to some tinkering I'd say, 'avoid it'. Funny thing I thought it would be easier than the Gold Dollar I got to practice on. Exact opposite.

    Wonderful set up and shave, Clint. Good job getting out of HOA jail! No mailbox for me, just a PO Box. No painting required, but pin striping would be cool. ;)

    We lived on a rural highway for a few years. In those days, I put up cheap plastic mailboxes and covered them with reflectors. I also painted the pole bright yellow for better visibility. Even so, it would get knocked off the pole every so often. When that happened, I'd retrieve my mail from the side of the road and attach the spare plastic mailbox that I always kept on hand (covered with reflectors, of course). We've gone mostly paperless since those days, so checking our PO Box every week or two works for us now.

    I'm not a fan of mailboxes and most types of mail. :)

    Haha lol, i try my best to rotate razors, i have 9 at the moment, so i try to use them for a week each, but i gave the fatip a good run for just under a month. Now its the Wilkinson swords turn, and then my UK made super speed.

    Very nice, Danny. It will be fun following along as you rotate through your collection.

    I think I knocked your mailbox down last night. You might want to consider adding some reflectors to your new one and maybe even painting the pole bright yellow. ;)

    Nice, Bill!
    I use unscented Star Jelly after my shaves. I like the way it leaves my face feeling.
