    Better buy her some Pork Green Chilli-I don't know whether it would be a "middle-of-the-road" kind of meal for her, but....seems like it COULD be.

    The razor that reminded me that I had more to learn was my Timeless Bronze OC. It took several shaves with it to learn what a light touch really is.

    You're getting close with the ATT.

    Weds OCtober 23

    I've wanted to use my Cooper Monobilt and today was the day. I think I need to repair the spring that holds the blade; it's putting a little too much tension on the blade and I think is slightly bending the blade when the cap is closed. I need to see if there is an easy way to fix this.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - MWF (it's Weds)
    Brush - ThatDarnRob
    Blade - Gillette Platinum (7)
    Razor - Cooper Monobilt
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Clubman Special Reserve

    Shave rating 5 of 5

    I haven't had this Cooper very long, about 3 months and this is my first time using it. Concerned about the piece of spring steel that holds the blade in place that it was bent slightly out of place by a prior owner. I need to figure out a way to adjust this as the spring very slightly warps the blade when the cap is closed. I just shave carefully on the one end of the razor; it gave me a great shave. The first pass WTG was smooth with a little blade feel, and fairly efficient - DFS. The second pass, XTG and again was a very smooth pass with no blade feel and and finished BBS. As usual, the MWF generated a great lubricating lather. I got a 2 pass, nick and weeper free shave. The alum was a little vocal on my neck area. I finished off with the Clubman SR A/S.

    Overall, a really good shave. Going with some US made OC razors this week.

    Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.

    It's less of what she eats and more of how much and how often she eats that seems to matter with this pregnancy, Paul.

    Beautiful Razor Ken! Check out the Cooper razor owners club thread. I think I have a few pics posted there if s blade loaded in the g head that may help.

    Thank you, Jason! I am actually a Dodgers fan, so my team already ran into the Nationals buzzsaw.

    Thank you, Andrew! I have had some pretty good shaves with the Oneblade, but today's was a little tougher. I probably could have done an additional pass with the growth, but it was good enough for the day.
