awesome shave and pic Dan.l like astra blades blue and green.great value.my first multi purchase blades..

 

thank you Patrick,good morning.hope you are well....

 

Thank you Gary, yes it certainly is.

 

Thanks Patrick, I'll do better tomorrow. As I said, I think this soap will be the first of my current ones to be "all done". There's a lot still to go with my other ones.

 

I've had my eye on MW4Men too...Do you get a real "café" sensation with Cuppa Joe?

 

Not really, it's a more woody and nutty scent, with coffee blended in. Sort of reminds me of toffee.

 

Oh OK...thanks.

Beautiful shave, wonderful photo and nice lineup Jim! Congrats on the new razor!

 

Awesome shave Gary! Your description of the razor and comparison to other gillettes was very detailed. Have a great day!

 

I think it is the overuse of spray tan that causes that effect on the skin.

 

thank you Joe,have a fine day sir....

 

Thank you, Patrick!

 

could well be....

 

Sorry about the boo-boos Paul. Sometimes, I don't shave for 2 days so that I give the wounds some time to heal so that I don't open them up on the next shave.

 

Nice one Dan!

 

Wow! To poetry no less--I must comply.

But first I must reply in limerick form (because it's lowbrow like myself--quatrains are for classy folk and AC blade users )

It can hardly be said Tim's an ace
His shaving technique's a disgrace
It seems that he'd rather
Make pass without lather
One day he will shave off his face

 

Not yet! Is it high class, like Axe Black?

The Shave...
Parents and students are coming in today in order to turn in work for the last month, and to pick up new assignments--gotta be looking my best. I went with a 2 pass shave with touch ups.

First passes (WTG) are the easiest for me. Except for right under the nose. If I’m going to bleed anywhere in the 1st pass, that’s where it’ll be… but it was successfully navigated, and usually is.

2nd pass (mostly XTG today) was a little rockier. A small set down error on the chin, and remember that part of the upper lip right under the nose that gives me trouble during the 1st pass, but is a cakewalk (even the fool’s pass) on the 2nd and 3rd? I somehow managed a slight nick going from the outside inward--still unsure how that happened.

Styptic on the chin for a small-but-persistent weeper on the chin, and my other errors just went away on their own. Somewhere in between BBS and DFS today with a slight tinge of irritation on the right side of my neck just under my ear--don’t know how that one happened; it’s usually pretty quiet along there.

Well off to make this a little less of a vacation for a couple hundred kids--I'll check in later in the afternoon

Enjoy your day--if Thursday comes, can Friday be far behind?

43 down, 57 to go!
