    DFS tonight even though I'm in a bit of a hurry. Proraso Green is a soap I use when I'm in a hurry. No rush, no hurry it makes good soap in a flash.
    Have a great evening. Off to grand daughters hockey game.

    Shave #2 with the Gillette LC New. Better than yesterday. Switched blades to an Astra SP. I ended up with a close shave, but still a sore face, albeit less than yesterday. I think I like the SC and will just say that the LC and I agree to disagree.[​IMG]

    Tonight before the gig.....Which razor....Hmmm..Last night my ER 1914 really did acquit it's self admirably. There is none finer...and my 1933 Schick Simplified Automatic Razor, thats another one that has trancended all competition...Ohhh wait a minute...I just remembered...That Schick Repeater is ready for a blade change....muah ha ha ha ha.....Chick-Chick!

    Ahhhh chalk up another Home-Run for this Schick C3, and the crowd goes Wild!

    I see what you are saying and I absolutely agree, my friend....Til one learns the basics....keep it simple....whether shooting, shaving or racing bikes....Develope your technique til it is secondary....I'm a musician and music clinician......and the greatest players in the World, spend most their time reviewing BASICS......But after you have a handle on those....Then Experiment,.If you so desire...and let the -ADs be with you!

    OCtober Focus Day 29:

    Homemade PS Oil
    Stirling Synthetic Brush
    Latha SS
    Gillette New LC
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Latha Post Shave

    Ride the cap. Ride the cap. This has really improved my technique. I kept myself strictly to a two pass shave, with no clean up. While I do have a few patches on my neck I normally would have smoothed out a bit, I am pretty close to a DFS, and I feel great. This is the perfect start to my Friday. Have a great day everyone.
