Since it is autumn, how do you feel about menthol?

    OCtober Focus Day 18:

    Stirling Synthetic Brush
    Stirling Frozen Tundra
    Schick Type C1
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Brut Classic AS

    I didn't have time for a picture this morning, as I slept in a bit, but I did get a good shave, if a bit rushed. Coming back to the Schick Type C1 was great. I really do enjoy these razors. Today was probably the best shave I have had with this particular razor, so assuming I get up on time, I have some good expectations for tomorrow's shave.

    I did notice that I had made a decent dent in my Frozen Tundra puck. I think I can see a but of the tin poking through the bottom. It is a great soap with a great scent.

    I wonder if the issue is due to the razor or the blade? I've had trouble with blades skipping when the lather is too dry, but this sounds like something different. It will be interesting to see what you discover.

    But just remember, sometimes reverberation is a good thing.

    Vince is good with the OC.

    Vince shaves likes a boss with the OC.

    See how reverberating that sentence made it stronger? :D

    Yours may be a tad noisier, but probably a lot cheaper! ;)

    I would think that would be a time to be quite. My wife is Canadians fan, and I'm a Leafs fan. Not a good thing if the Leafs ever make the playoffs. :)

    thinking about breaking my disjointed focus skipping tonights shave and doing a quick 2 pass with my fat boy and a GSB. I have court in the morning and want to look my best.

    Peace of mind is the trump card. I move to give you a pass on the Focus. Good luck tomorrow.

    A very,very, very long time. The last time they won the Stanley Cup I was in the jungle. We've be married a long time so it is friendly banter.
