    It is all in the perspective. Is the glass half full or half empty?

    Does your gym have enough weights? She has been working out on an Alabama wood pile splitting wood.

    I was unable to positively identify the exact cause to why (early on) I felt tugging on the first pass, then things seem to be smooth up on subsequent passes. I don't experience the same now and I've been on straights daily and almost exclusively since August.

    I have not changed my lathering.
    I probably get away with less stretching now than earlier. I am definitely better at making 'shave faces'.
    I am more deliberate with my technique.
    I have added 'pasted balsa' stropping to my razor maintenance.
    I am better with my daily stropping and added a 3x18 softer leather strop.

    When I do pick up a SE or DE my shaves are noticeably better than before straights. If I recall correctly, I read you post one time I that the correct setting to use on a Fatboy was 9. I could not understand it then, but do now. I have one adjustable, when it comes out, it is wide open.

    It has been a rewarding experience for me to go through. I would encourage others with the time and resources to give it a try.

    With it being close to the Holidays I'd like to thank you and all the others who have encouraged and coached me on this journey which began just about 1 year ago.

    And may everyone have a blessed Holiday Season!

    Those of us who only take our foot out of our mouth to change feet don't have much to worry about. The CT oversight committee will get weary of the regular updates.
