    The shovel head gets such a bad rap for holding water . I say just give it a shake and shave with the darn thing. Glad to hear you are happy with yours Dale . They do shave amazingly well!

    You can go to the local pharmacy and use rubbing alcohol to sterilize your razors.

    Schick injectors are the gateway to open blades.

    All single bladed razors are the same.

    Don't let the handles mess with you.

    Skin stretching and constant attention to angle and pressure are the keys to success.

    Razor - El-Cheapo Chinese Pain Stick Thingy
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Soap Commander Courage
    Brush - @Jayaruh #230
    Post - Alum

    Last night's shave with the el-cheapo pain stick thingy worked well enough I decided to try it again. Just switched to Soap Commander and the JR230 for lather and gave it another try. I will admit that shavettes are the ones that usually draw blood on me the most often, while pain sticks are usually safe - as long as I stay focused. Well, apparently I'm focused enough to survive two shaves with this thing even with the Dorco blade. No cuts or other problems. Alum a bit warm which is usual for this kind of shave, for me anyway, but not overly hot or stingy. Can't really complain. Nice DFS after three passes so I'm good for all night and all day again.

    It's Friday in a few hours!!! Have a great start to the weekend.

    I always liked math. In fact, if I had taken another college math course, then I could have been a certified math teacher. However, some people in my social circle have called me certifiable in other areas, therefore, I will leave that up to your imagination. Lol!

    Out of the cold into the hot lather but with menthol!
    New forecast calling for 40cm now and blowing too. Great!
    Another great hot shave and I think I'm hooked on this setup. May as well be since I'm in it for a month. The heat makes it well worth it!
    Topped it off with a splash of Booster polar ice complements of @jtspartan . Don't know whats in it but it feels like I got a facelift. Thanks for the chance to try it out. She loves the smell and it looks like its going on the "buy" list. My skin is baby soft tonight.

    Very nice, Patrick! The Proraso cream looks to hold up well with the heat.

    Way to show the pain stick who's boss. That brush handle is amazing--love the inlay.
