What did we learn from our last shaves?

Abc is a three letter word.

 

Gentlemen, from my last shave...

I learned little, successfully sustaining my ignorance level right where it started before the shave.

 

Learned that the smell of Noczema (Preshave) is pretty awful - too medicinal but gives a shave as smooth as Tom Selleck in Leather Pants.

 

Has a certain ring to it. Could almost make a song about that.

 

You, Sir, are indeed a visionary.

 

Life is a matter of taste...choose wisely.

 

I've learned that if I leave my shaving brush unattended my baby kitten (she's a year and a half) will take my brush and eat it. Thankfully I've caught her before she could do any damage.

 

At least she's a cute kitten, Kerry.

 

I learned that while I like Feather Blades, I can't say they are any better for me than Astra SPs

 

I learned that DE razors can cut just like straights if you get sloppy and don't check your gear. Loose TTO doors are no fun.

 

I learned that one fast. Happened with my black handle SS. Now, no natter what DE I'm using, I check them 2-3x during the shave.

 

Mine was due to complacency and overconfidence. Stupid shaving error.

 

Sometimes I am a slow learner. Today the premise of concentrating on the shave was reinforced by a cut due to inattention.

 

Ouch. I've been presented with that life lesson as well.

I've learned that as much as I adore MdC, it does not agree with my skin. Someone's going to snag a pretty good deal...

 

Learned (realized) that a synthetic brush doesn't lather Williams mug soap nearly as well as boar or badger.

Also, the Astra SS blade is a very good blade so far. Shave #4 and still no nicks or scrapes due to the blade. This is the best/most shaves in a row with excellent results. Still smooth DFS with the DE89 and a ball end tech used today. Hmm, go on to shave #5 or is 4 good enough for the blade....

 

Purchased a tub of tiki 1920 BARBERSHOP and now have to try a few more of their soaps. I may need to find a therapist who specializes in addiction.

 

That some soaps are either bad or that not all brushes are good for all soaps. End was result a nasty cut to the back of my head. And that Dorco St-301 last me maybe one shave.

 

Bayrum might be the worst thing that's made contact with my eye....and I've had bleach in my eyes before

 

Sounds painful. I've had super glue in my eye - probably the worst eye pain I've ever experienced but bleach and apparently Bayrum sound worse.

 

Straight razor shaving learning curve is very high and I prefer a rounded blade vs square.
