joe...For me personally the Ming shi 2000s is very efficient..What i didn't mention in my posting it was the first time i had paired it together with the Feather blade.Since i've gained much shaving confidence using the Feather blade,i now know how to approach an aggressive shave set up, which is to treat both the razor & blade with respect and apply good technique. Enjoy your day Joe.

 

This I have learned as well. I have finally de-programmed myself from the cartridge technique of shaving. I let the razor do the work and if it is an aggressive setup (blade & razor) I ride the cap and slowly tilt the razor until it catches. SWEET Spot!
Now, razors that always bit me are pleasant to use and I am less likely to get a cut.

I used a cartridge 2 blade razor for a large part of my early shaving history before I let the beard grow and did not shave for 18 years! I hated shaving. This has changed now.

 

Couldn't have been happier about my shave today. The shavesoap puck is showing more "emptiness", but still a ways to go. 2 solid passes. Again, I skimmed over bits of North Porcupine, but had the presence of mind to make the necessary corrections. Cheeks&Sideburns great, Cactus Nation, the same. My jawline gathers a lot of hair ready to be shaved off the next morning. No Cuts, Knicks, or Polkadots. The Stephan Bay Rum A.S, worked well, and I closed again with Passion 4 Men(House of Elizabeth Taylor). Outta This World Excellent.

 

Who was the lucky babe?????

 

Great minds Hogie...

 

I wore a full beard until I booted the ex out. She always wanted me to wear the beard becuz "You look younger than me without the beard!" She was 11 years my junior. This was less than a year before she left in 2007

 

Thanks Gary!

 

Very nice session Paul.

 

Terrific shave Gary! Enjoy your Saturday!

 

That really is going into the deep end of the pool Barry.

 

Thank you Joe...I thought I'd be lighting my face on fire, but Bay Rum isn't too bad in the hot summer(for me).

 

I would have said that you should be thrilled that I look younger than you. I had the same problem. Generally, women don't like to go out with baby-faced men

 

As my father use to say sometimes ,you've got to put your head down, go for it, and grab it by the balls!..British stupidity !
Here is one of my all-time heroes..Mad as a Hatter, with balls of steel.!..

I've actually know & worked with people like Fred, who don't sense fear at all!.My father was one.

Enjoy. Barry.

 

How about baby-faced men who are MATURE?

 

Trigger , the other day you were talkinabout "gooey" shavesoap. That describes the Clubman Brushless Shave Cream, too.. After reaching in to scoop out your suppl, your hands get gooey.

 

Penelope.....she finally said yes!
