Brian, sounds like a fun day! Is your daughter's boyfriend interested in DE or straight shaving? If not, it might be kinda fun to get him started. I'd also show him your nut and bolt shaver...a little healthy fear of Dad is always a good thing.

Paul, I'm glad you gave the Slim a whirl. Now you know what it's like. Who knows? You may decide to try it again in a few months and find it to work well for you! And if not, it still looks cool sitting on your shave shelf.

Thank you, Charlie! I love the Old Spice mugs; this is one I will use for soap. I have a Hull Pottery mug that is purely for decoration. I'll break it out for a picture soon, as it has sat hidden for too long.
