    Don't worry about us Myles. Your schoolwork is more important than communicating with us old guys. Your in the last half of the school year so bear down and do your best. Stop in when you can. Take care.

    Well...I'm pretty much into the disposeABLES...mainly because I am more comfortable with them than others. Nothing against the razors themselves, but my operation of them needs big improvement. @wristwatchb knows what I'm talkinabout. Let me think about you sending me one-certainly would be nice to have something that was created in 1957, along with me.

    A real good shave this morning with what was an "all-Stoylin" team(save for the razor). The prep in the shower set things up nicely. The hotter tap water was much better for my ,brush. 0:30 at the loading dock, then another 10 to get a little more onto the brush. I took a little more time than usual to glide the soap across my face&neck. 2 healthy passes. I said yesterday and will repeat today-such a pleasant fragrance for the Ramblin Man. I need to make some reviews in Doc Ezlovan's section for that. One tiny Knick that evaporated as result of the aftershave, then the cold-water rinse. Clean, fresh feeling to get me going for the week. Outta This World Excellent.

    Day 11 of my January rule. This soap will n to be gone soon enough.
    While it's not a bad soap, the coconut oil is really bothering my skin.
    The annoyance is only temporary, thank goodness. I guess the same can be said about this tub of soap.
    Went for a thickerer (sic) lather today. Don't know     why, just because.
    [​IMG]
    Today, I employed very light and SHORT strokes. Kept the blade from yesterday and
    made the moves ultra-short. 1/4".
    Good results. Not better, not worse.
    Been a long time since I splashed on something with a very high alcohol content. :shocked003:

    Rinse, lather and repeat. Great shave Joe
    Nice pics and shave Joseph whether it was enjoyable for you or not it was for us LOL I have made that exact same face except I was tear laden for 30 minutes when using a post shave product I did not realize was loaded with menthol ;)
