I'd play. My success rate isn't too great, but I am definitely hoping to have a net reduction of soap.

Thanks very much Brian.

Thanks Jim.

Wow this thread grows fast, I will have to catch later today.

I will probably decide to keep both, they both easily produce fine edges.

Just go for it and follow @Bama Samurai , the shavette Sensei's advice, "don't cut yourself'.

Out of focus:

No time this morning for a straight and I wanted to try a gift from my Secret Santa, Williams Mug Shaving Soap. The Williams performed wonderfully, not as wet as I would like for a straight but great for DE, slick and allot cushion. The Joris is one of my favourite razors and loaded it with Gillette 7 O'clock Blue. Nice shave.


Irritation A+ Closeness A

Razor: Joris Open Comb (Gillette 7’Oclock Blue)
Brush: 30DC LE
Pre: Proraso
Soap: Williams
AS: Fine Snake Bite, Edwin Jagger ASB
Scent: Frederic Malle Musk Ravaguer

Brush looks great also Keith.

Thanks. I think Speick is as good or better than any cream I have used, but there aren’t very many of them to compare to. TOBS, Trumpers, Musgo... That may be it. It gives a great, smooth shave. I had a tube of it once before, and was convinced that it smelled exactly like Desitin. I decided to give it another try, and am finding it to be piney and spicy, and something. Whatever something is, I like it.

Sorry for the abruptly ending post. I was so beat last night after work that I fell asleep on the couch in the hotel, in the middle of typing while I ate my supper. I found it like that this morning when I got up.

Thank you Jared. No problem, we have all been there. Try to get some rest.

This is how routine and technique become invidually perfected. You're on to something with the mapping.

@wchnu

I was going to do that too, and ended up with more than I started.

Have you tried the Palmolive Cream? I find the Menthol version simply outstanding.

Thank you, it is a beautiful brush.

Thank you!

Pro tip two:

Shavettes are identical to Straights in every way, until the user messes up.

Sorry for the low blow.

I didn’t get it, until I looked her up and realized she was a Canuck. Yep, low blow.
At first, I thought it was your backyard.

Thanks, Justin!

Let's ritually cleanse American Ears for a second. As a bassist, I say....

We can blame Avril for a lot of stuff. Keep it going and I'll bring up Nickelback. Yeah, I ain't proud, I will go there.

Besides, chicks dig scars.
