    I shaved for almost five years with a Parker TTO, Shark Blades an Omega 49 and Colonel Conk soap. I decided to buy a second DE for travel, and tripped into a forum.

    Good lord.

    I doubt it. I'm Italian so all of this with daily shaving will be just enough for the next year or two :)

    Now, you must not know engineers! If there is anything that can break an engineer from drawings, procedures, and processes, it is free food. Have you ever seen a clumsy, overweight individual with a pocket protector move quickly? Put a box of free donuts out there, and that individual moves faster and more gracefully than Barry Sanders!

    I've been shaving daily for 2.5 years and have reached the bottom of exactly two containers of soap! And, I load 'em like they owe me money and I am two months late on rent!

    Wow! I had the exact same thought this morning.
    It reminded me of a time I went grocery shopping (true story). I walked up to the line with three items: Cat litter, a Bottle of Merlot, and a wedge of some very nice cheddar. As I walk up to the line, I see directly in front of me a college professor under whose tutelage I had done three directed studies. He had the exact same three items. I looked at him. looked at his three items, smiled, and said "Great minds think alike." He looked at me, looked at what I had in my hands, smiled, and said "Unfortunately, mediocre minds think alike, too." :)

    I did a bay rum today too. Ogalalla soap and VIBR AS.

    With your soaps the smaller openings have less surface area maybe. So longer to load the same amount of soap???

    That sounds like the beginning of a great novel.

    That is because you have 75 tubs of it.

    Awesome April
    Days 19-20

    Two passes to DFS...that's twenty Voskhod edges depleted, with ten excellent shaves remaining. Hero Finish, because it's an average Thursday. I am trying to make this Arko stick go away, but it's going to take a while. Per @Fly2High (Frugal Frank) I will be posting stick progress photos each Sunday. This Parker has been a great experience so far, and continues to be very easy to use. After a couple of days of 81f, we are cold and rainy out with temps heading to near freezing again tonight. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.
    Have a Fantastic Friday!

    If you see anything funny under @Shave Fu 's avatar, let him know that my lawyers are denying all knowledge.
