    Thank you, Clint.
    A lot of enabling going on around here, most unintentional, but some blatant (Perry).
    It's about time for the Soap Commander aftershave release, gotta go.

    Nice set up today, Jim. Does this wide blade holder on the Vanta make the razor handle easier? Have fun, and catch a big fish this afternoon. :)

    The shavette discussion reminds me of an unusual shavette review I recently saw. It is called a Razorine shavette. I can't decide if this is really a shavette or just a DE with a different handle. At any rate, I'm not sure I could get along with the skinny, slick handle. I would be afraid of losing my grip and having an accident with this one. If it had a more substantial handle, though, I think it would be fun to try.

    Thanks Perry. I recycled a couple of oldies. I hope you have a great day at school. :)

    Not only that, Bruce, but @clint64 is exploring new frontiers in accounting.

    Very subtle enabling. Great shavette, brush, cream and soap. No enabling at all. :D

    Thank you Charlie. The handle is very comfortable is easy to use. I have not found it to be slippery at all.

    Guilty as charged. I have kept yearly and cumulative spreadsheets for Razor, Brush, and Soap usage since January 2015. The worksheets consist of a daily shave listing including the date, running total of days in the year, running total of shaves in the year, razor, brush blade and soap used. The second sheet includes a total # of uses for the year of each product as well as a running total since January 2015.

    I have worksheets for my reloading, weapons and motorcycle maintenance. We were meant for each other since we are both control freaks. :happy097:

    That is what the accounting department looks like in my current contract. I am trying to drag them the 21st century. :D

    Well shame, shame shame. The Sensor 3 couldn't work well in this morning's shave(Rise) In fact, yes, I threw out the rest of em! I still have the Dorco 4s and a storebrand version of Dorcos. But the Deuce saved me this morning.

    Thank you, Charlie! I think the wide blade holder makes it easier to get the proper angle on the razor, if that makes sense. Something about the proportions on this razor just seem to get me to put it at a perfect angle right from the first of my stroke rather having to adjust just a bit. The width does make it a little more difficult to get in some tight areas, though.
