  2. Thank you, Clint. I picked the purple razor because it matched the soap. That felt weird to even type.
    Thanks, Andrew.
    Thanks, Jim. Just for Him gift shop in St. Louis is where I got it. It was a limited edition, so not a lot of places have it in stock. If you find some place with the matching EdT, please let me know.

  5. Thank you, Gentlemen. Your prayers and thoughts are greatly appreciated.
  6. My MMOC is by far my most aggressive razor. I have to run the cap almost flat against my face and keep a VERY light touch. It has some weight on it, and the weight does the work. The angle is far different from my other razors.

  7. I have whittled my regimen down to two passes if I am taking my time, or one for a quick morning cleanup. The first pass takes care of hair anyone will see or notice. The second is more for personal satisfaction.

  8. I had a MMOC a while back. It was a beast! I ended up selling it because it was tough to tame.

  10. I thought I had kept the pressure off but clearly this thing needs even more care. I was surprised, and not too pleasantly, this morning when my neck burned during my shower just from the soap. Talk about some left over irritation. I knew it was a bit fiery with the alum last night but had no idea it would last the night.
  11. Don't know what I did right today but my head only took 1 pass with a couple spots cleanup and my face was 1 pass wtg also. Gave it a couple strokes across the grain here and there for good measure. Splash of some witch hazel and Gillette after shave and done . That's my report for today.

  15. Thank you, Clint. I'd agree that there is a similarity in many of my photos. It is a fine line between consistency and boredom...:scared003:

    Finally was able to sit down last night and get this razor cleaned up. I haven’t been able to use it before today. But it was a bbs shave!!
