    Thank you Jim. Figured I may as well join the rest of the enablers on here, but in all honesty I just like their product and prefer to support the smaller businesses that have to grind it out everyday to make a buck.

    Ok, ok, I'll play nice. Your beloved Canucks won 4-3 in a shoot out. Good game.

    Newbie question

    Anyone have any tips on how to get the blade to line up straight quickly on a shavette ? It always takes me like 10 tries before I get it where blade exposure is even all the way across . I have managed to shave with it twice but took me forever each time to get a fresh blade loaded up right.
    Using a Focus R21 with a metal insert not the evolution model

    Thanks to all for any advice

    Anthony

    I turned the TV on just as Vancouver scored to tie it 3-3 in the 3rd and watched the overtime and shootout. I was just being smarmy.

    Yeah I know but I couldn't resist the response. ;) These Blues - they are normally better on the road but they have to start winning at home. I think they'll get settled down now that the whole "you're the champs so we need you to do these 30 things at the start of the season" list is done. They were commenting on the radio today how they can now just worry about this season. And the fact that everyone is gunning for them now. No more stealing games because people think you aren't all that good. Everybody wants a piece.

    I still think that the Cards last series put some poison in the water in the Lou too that may have gotten frozen into a layer of ice at Enterprise. Gotta remind the hockey boys that it's their time now. Go get 'em! One fun fact - since St. Louis has always been known as a huge baseball town and has earned that reputation, the Blues have always played second fiddle, though they've always had a huge and loyal fan base, even when they went through the really sucky 2000's. With their resurgence and now the Cup, one of the local radio stations has a promo that says something like "St. Louis - A baseball town with a hockey problem!". I think right now it should be reversed. I was still out delivering up to game time and downtown was full of Blues jerseys. I mean people everywhere. And this is the 7th game of the season. I'd say we can call ourselves a hockey town now with a baseball problem. Seems more accurate.

    Sadly no, Rick . They have a computer at his house and he has no desire to learn how to use it . He reminds me of my father when we first got a VCR , Dad refused to use it . He refuses to get a cell phone also. I told him he dont know the fun he's missing out on.

    Good Thursday morning to all!
    Not much time yet to catch up, but still shaving everyday.
    On a side note, I was in the big city yesterday sitting in a waiting room and spied one of those coffee machines that uses a small pod you put in it. Close it, hit brew, coffe fills your cup with hot coffee, great. Well, it cooled down enough take a drink and... It looked like coffee, I could smell the coffee smell. But man oh man, it was about as weak as it could be. Watery kinda stuff. IF that's all the rage, leave me out. I should of figured, you can't get much coffee grounds in that small pod.
    Back ro the important stuff....
    I wandered into an antiques store yesterday and found a few old tools that were dirty but cheap. Brought them home with me, with a Little TLC got them ready to work with.
    The MMOC, a favorite of mine, loaded with a new Personna GEM blade did its job like it should. A 2 pass head shave and a 2 pass face shave with it and one blade to do the job.

    I'm smooth and clean, ready for the day.
    No issues with this razor, a great shaver.
    It has some brassing, just a tiny bit.
    Not the prettiest razor in the den, but it will shave as good as, or better than, most.
    On the run again.
    All
    Enjoy

    Today was the last shave of my first focus. And it was a good one, no nicks, cuts, irritation or whatsoever.
    And you guys made it happen. Thanks!
    Have a great day!
