Thanks Jason! Sometimes Ignorance is Bliss. I'm not seeking perfection, just maybe 90% flaw reduction. I'm glad you were talking about hair and not teeth! Those ear hairs tickle, especially the "goat" or tragus hairs. Thank you Jared! Thanks to hanging around the 30 DC I've developed an appreciation for my LC and so many others.
A day behind but here's menthol Monday rocking some CO Bigelow and Proraso Green AS. Keeping the trend of going through all of my soaps sticking with mass market for another week. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

Congrats on the anniversary, Charlie! Did I spell that correctly? C-H-A-R-L-I-E is easier to spell than L-E for me...
Congrats on the three year anniversary. Until you mentioned it I had forgotten we joined at about the same time. My 3 year anniversary on TSD was Oct 1. Like you I have learned much from the members in general and the 30DC in particular.

I think I'm finally caught up on the thread. Whew. Since I don't have an OC, and I don't have a focus, I'll read along with all the stories and look at all the great photos. For today's shave I dug into my little black box (literally) of random tucks of blades (mostly from a sampler pack) and came across the Dorco ST300's. I've yet to try them, so why not give 'em a spin? One little thing I like that they do is double wrap each blade - no sticky residue! I wish more blade manufacturers would follow suit. Overall, a great shave. Favorite blade yet? No. Didn't expect it to be. It was, however, MUCH better than I anticipated. They're better than the VDH Ice Tempered blades, by a decent margin. I'd be lying if I said that it's the smoothest & sharpest blade I've used. They aren't bad blades though. We'll give the shave a "DFS rating". I surely wouldn't order a 100 pack of them, but I'll eventually use up the ones I have. Prior to jumping onto the DE bandwagon, I had been using the Dorco carts and was quite impressed with them. Much cheaper than the Mach3 carts, and just about as good. In the world of carts, Dorco is king when it comes to cost/value. In the world of DE - nah. DE blades are cheap, and there's so many good players! Anyway, there's my unsolicited post... Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!
Thank you Jason. That's right we did all join about the same time. I have always enjoyed you quick wit and sense of humor. Good to see you posting again. The place wasn't the same without you.
I know I said "pine" but upon reflection it smells a lot like a Christmas tree farm. More fir than a pinesol kind of smell. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
