Thanks Andrew. The little black bakelite tubes? Styptic. 1 still has it inside too.

 

That looks nice, Gary.

 

Great shave reports and photos.

Quick post before I have to feed the kids before the National Championship game starts. Roll Tide!!!

Day 11 with the Electric Sheep single soap focus (SSF). Everything went as planned. Another 2+ pass comfortable and efficient shave with no irritation or mishaps to report. I am continuing my (other) focus this month of discarding the razor blades after two uses. I think it is helping me avoid the occasional neck irritation that shows up on shaves 3 or 4 with a blade. This is the 5th blade brand used this month and they have all provided excellent performance.

 

Very nice Gary. Congrats.

 

more the wrapper removal for me..i peel it away from the blade with a knife now,so less of an issue..

 

Thank you Jason. The meds have helped some.

Thank you Jeff. I love the OREN potato peeler. The meds seem to be working. I hope you are recovering from your procedure.

 

thank you Myles..first silvertip..it's a chinese badger like most brushes but affordable if i don't like it.best badger has been my mainstay so far.i like some backbone..test lather was nice..

 

Same here, Dave. I'm not sure what difference glue dots make, or why anyone would remove the blade until it goes in the bin.

 

thank you Clint.....not top shelf but easily attainable here locally.

 

wrapper removal for me Charlie..after the fact not an issue..

 

fine black tip shave and pic Andrew.

 

Actually you're too young to have a senior slip, Myles! It is Joe. Lol! However, you are quite welcome.

 

thank you Paul..should be it for a while..

 

isn't Gary a swear word here sometimes..

 

Nice shave and enjoy the game Andrew!

 

You really are irascible. Lol!

 

some call it passionate....too much lockdown time..

 

My blade comes out after every shave. I have hard water so I dry my razors after each use to prevent mineral stains. I didn't do that at first because all my razors were solid metal and polishing them up every once in awhile was no big deal. It's when I added plated razors to the collection that drying became part of the routine.

That's because they do not want to tussle with you.
