  1. For me a good example of that would be Bigelow...the first name of one of my Mom's relatives. They call her "Biggie". But I don't currently have a Bigelow.
  2. Thanks Terry. He had it a while back but Dad needs to move around more. He is 81 and wants to stay in a recliner and that is not good but he will not listen.
  3. Terry...you have missed your calling. You sould have been a paint & body man. Congrats on getting the V2 corrected.
  4. Thanks Rick.

    Razor: Schick B1 Repeating Razor
    Blade: Schick Proline B
    Brush: VdH Boar
    Soap: Stirling Naked And Smooth

    I'm a few days behind on updates, so first a quick recap. Thursday night, I gave the VdH Boar an overnight soak to see if it would resolve the shedding issue again. Based on the subsequent shaves, I would say that it did. I really wish that I understood the mechanics of a Boar brush better. The bristles in this one seem to get brittle unless it gets frequent use and/or a good soak before use. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the source of the bristles or something done during manufacture.

    Friday was a great shave with the post-war Gold Tech. Sunday's setup was the same as today's; unfortunately, life intervened while I was shaving so I could only do a single pass for a CCS. Today, however, there were no interruptions and a textbook BBS.
