    I have two girls as well. It didn't get any easier for me as they got older. Still get the drama but they cost more money.

    Thanks! Break can be a good thing for sure if the irritation gets really bad.
    I remember when i tried Arko, got a really bad rash from it. Couldn't shave for a week. And i learned not to try anything new straight on my face.

    Thanks Keith.

    I had done the bevel on the convex arks some time back. It was sharp but not smooth. The new coticule is also convexed. I didn't add that to my original message cause they laugh at me trying to hone a razor on a stone lapped to convex. Well, I couldn't get anything on flat stones, no matter what I tried. All good experience in my book. I just wanna figure out how to get what makes me happy.

    Menthol Monday Madness....Proraso style. Nice color isolation Gary!

    Thank you, Blair! The Lemony Orange was a limited scent. Jared (@PickledNorthern - won't let me tag him) got up some interest in The Stirling Exchange thread and convinced Rod to make a special limited edition. It's a nice scent.

    Glad to hear from you, Randy! Injectors are sweet and easy tools.

    Don't envy that commuting....Nice shave and PAA setup.

    Great combination Jeff. The Karve looks like a popular modern DE with this group!

    Great details Andrew. Love the setup as well. That sure is BLUE!

    Great report Joe. Sounds like it was a great shave.

    Yeah....I'm finding this out as well. Where's the fast forward button (not really, but ya think about it sometimes :happy102:).

    I didn't have any reaction to Arko, other than it was not slick enough (with my water) for straight shaving....and I rarely use a DE or SE lately. But...we found another use. It worked really well as a hand soap in the kitchen/garage bathroom. Family didn't mind the smell either. Finally finished it off.....put the puck of Williams in there yesterday.

    Thanks Joseph on all accounts. The VDH is a very light razor and is very mild. It is not very difficult to get a BBS shave with it, but my technique has to be on for it to be so. Also, using a relatively new blade doesn't hurt either. Lol!

    I really enjoy both girls a lot now that they are in college and grad school. It's interesting to see how they approach life. I miss them and enjoy them visiting but I am not sure I am ready for all the estrogen to move back in the house. :happy097:

    Thats a good way to use the soaps that don't work too well for shaving. I have actually washed my hair with shaving soap a few times
