    Awesome shave Tim! The SS is a workhorse for sure!
    I'm surprised there are still some available. Congrats!

    Here's a slightly less permanent/painful alternative....sticky note at eye level on the mirror til you remember. Two words: Negative Pressure

    I bet this will help, and possibly engrain some muscle memory.

    Back when I was playing all the time with cars on a track (hopefully soon again later this year).....I had a note on my dash that said 'Wiggle Fingers'. It was a reminder as I was a tight grip driver, fingers would go to sleep in long endurance sessions. It was a reminder for long straights. Also have seen notes on motorcycle racers dash or tank. One that begged questions was, 'BREATHE'. The rider held his breath in turns... Another I see almost monthly on various bikes is 'GP Shift'. For those unaware, it's when a rider installs extra hardware to swap the left foot gear shift operation (for better cornering clearance & weight distribution control).


    Yes! Think of the first pass as removing stumps. Second pass and after is removing weeds. Less pressure is almost always better, unless using them multi bladed cart thingys.

    My wife gave me three days of driver training for Christmas a few years ago. It was a blast! The straight being the fastest part of the track, speeds approaching 150mph, was also where I could relax a bit. Only one upshift. The rest of the time was wiggling fingers and repositioning myself in the seat. C6 Vette seats really do suck when pushing the car to its limits.

    WOWzers again Jim! Very nice image. Love that brush, that blue tip...and yeah, all of it!

    Awesome Barbershop setup and Tuesday Tool coolness Terry!

    Great stuff Tommy! Always unique setups.

    Oh, my....that razor! Simply stunning shave Keith!

    Neat looking setup Danny! Love the razor handle combo!

    Very nice image and setup Clint!

    Great colors with the image Jason! Still haven't bitten on the JoHS TBL. I don't think I've seen anyone report/review on the batches since the first of the year...was kind of waiting for that.

    Very nice Perry! That is a neat brush handle, always love seeing that M!

    Neat images Jeff! Always interesting mix of gear! Enjoy the day with Ogallala! Bay Rum & Sandalwood...hmm.

    Very cool Gary! Love the colors. Any extra comments on the ToBS Royal Forest aroma?

    Great image, report and setup Joseph! Ogallala BR greatness!

    Tons of fun. Yeah....most stock seats are good for straight lines only, unless you work the seat belt lock to hold you in.

    What track?

    My play car was a 95 M3. Purchased new, ~3200 lbs, 240hp. Sold a few years ago, gutted to ~2450 pounds to house a 6 point weld in cage, ~320hp.

    Awesome! Frankly, the SS is out of my sphere, but I may take you up on the aluminum some time. One way or the other, I'm definitely interested in hearing your thoughts on the comparison of the two.

    Spring Mountain in Nevada.
    Bruised knees and elbows and worn out by the end of each day. I didn't know about locking the seatbelt but I spent a lot of time pushing into the steering wheel trying to keep myself planted in the seat.

    Thanks, Evan. That FT really is the perfect daily driver (just have to remind myself occasionally that it does hold a blade, so don't get cocky).

    Hide and protect: Trip wires. Claymores. Sharks. Lasers. Sharks with lasers--pretty much the same things I have to do when I bring ice cream or cookies into the house :happy102:
