    They're shutting off the water tomorrow morning for some repairs in the bldg. I found out the company that is scheduled to fix my shower Monday is doing the same essential work in a different apt. tomorrow. The property mgr. has "suggested/hinted" to them that maybe they could do the scheduled work for tomorrow AND mine after that. I don't know what will happen, but I'll be away in the morning anyway-I always feel "homeless" when the power or water is off. Hopefully I will return to a fixed shower, but if not, there's always Monday(the scheduled time for me).

    Proraso, MWF, Arko, Derby....soap scum on the tools.

    I get very little residue with Proraso, usually only requiring a wipe down. The MWF is a little worse, Arko/Derby, well....not a problem anymore as Arko turned into hand soap for the laundry bathroom, and the Derby was PIF'd to the traveling box.

    I keep one of those hand soap foamy pump thingy's on the counter....recycled from empty after the estrogen units are done with it. Half baby shampoo, half water. Synthetic shave brush nearby. 1 pump onto the brush, running water, brush the shave bowl (if used) and the daily tool.....no soap scum anymore. The other part that helps, is that our hot water thermostat is set towards the high side, so rinses are usually pretty clean to start with.

    Thank you, Jim! I am amazed that I can get 9 shaves on a 1/2 blade which would be 18 on a full blade. I am wondering why I can't get 18 shaves on 1 blade with a safety razor! Mmm!

    Nice shave Joe!

    Might have to try a menthol shave Monday and see how it works....at the rate I use Menthol based shave software, my green tub will be around for...well, tooooo long.

    I think the soap scum problem is also partly due to water type....growing up in semi south Louisiana (Baton Rouge), we had water from the Mississippi River (very soft). A bath? No way, took double the time to clean the soap ring out. Soap scum happened with almost everything but Dawn dish liquid.
