    Well ok, but just don't start shaving your...um...pits! Yeah, that's it! That's where I really draw the line! :o

    (Edit - and this was what I had to say on my 1000th TSD post?!!
    Sheesh, how profound!) :happy068:

    just now getting to the party, and it's already the 3rd (barely) ...

    i don't have an SE to use for this focus. however, i was quite fortunate to come across a birthday SS flair tip in the Nationwide Box Tour#2. so, i'm gonna conduct a blade focus with my new razor.

    the goods:
    pre: dr.bronner's, PSO(diy)
    brush: omega 10065 boar
    lather: proraso green/red soap
    razor: gillette I2 SS flair tip
    blades: Top 10 Sampler Plus One
    post: alum block, thayer's witch hazel (various flavors)

    i'll be going through the blades in alphabetical order. my first two shaves are already in the books ... with the Astra SP.

    i'll catch up soon with those details.

    And congrats on the great pull - birthday flair tip!
    I've got two more stops before the box gets to me. Hope you left some goodies for me!

    I forgot to mention I had a shave buddy this evening. My daughter joined me for a couple of passes. She says it's good for her skin. :) She wouldn't let me take a picture of her all lathered up, but here's one of her doing homework with the dog.

    30 Long Days of Schick G

    I used too much pressure for the angles I was holding. :(



    If you do what I did today, use this. It helps. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

    Have a fabulous Friday!
    :)

    Oh my, parallel universe. My daughters' puppy at 2 months, he's 9 months now. Looks pretty similar.

    Sorry for the rough shave. You are welcome to blame @Rufus T. He gave us permission earlier.

    Have you tried the TSD Aftershave Milk? I haven't yet but intend to soon. Seems like the ingredients would be great for a cool off from a rough shave.

    i agree and I'm due to get a full bottle of the unscented soon so I can use it with any AS.

    Did that the other day. When I broke out the demon... I mean r41 I could still see the spots that were irritated a few hours after. Remembered my nivea balm 2 days later...

    I hate to admit this, but that was a very good idea that I wish I had thought of myself.

    I am in love with the Bourbon Vanilla scent so that will be what I get first. Who am I kidding I will be getting the unscented now too.

    I learned the hard way...ordered a bottle of something I thought I'd like (and didn't). Now I do samples first, but wanted the unscented milk for all my nonTSD AS.
