I use it as the starting point, I then increase the angle until I get what I want.

That otter looks pretty noble.

TGIF shave so, I went with a show queen.

The Ed Brice is red, shiny and is Bedazzeled!

We saw Herman's Hermits in an outdoor concert once, and we had a blast. Everybody brought their lawn chairs and picnic baskets. Their Fan Club was there (first time I've ever seen anything like that at a concert), and they made it extra fun.

We had season tickets that summer to the Roarchestra. This was a series of Saturday evening concerts at the Louisville Zoo. It featured the Louisville Orchestra and various other musical groups. Other favorites from those concerts were the groups America and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. The swing dancers showed up for the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy concert. Super cool music and good times!

He looks like dinner to me. Did you bring the grill?

The Rex is my only adjustable. I've been running it wide open. Pinched down to 1.5 I need to pay much more attention to angle and the sound of the razor to get a close shave.

I think fixing your wife's A/C in her car also played an important role.

Danny, enjoy Stirling SDM and WCS brush. Let us know how they are.

Cool straight razor, Keith. I assume you have the matching watch?


I'm glad you made it home safely. I enjoyed seeing all the cool photos from your trip. I'm sure you and your brother had a blast.

Robert, you are rolling right along!

March Shave Report #1

Razor: Gillette New LC
Blade: Shark Super Chrome
Preshave: Neutrogena Skin clearing shave cream
Lather: ARBAC
Brush: Synbad Synthetic brush
Postshave: Alum, Pacific Shaving Company Caffeinated aftershave

Ouch the Alum doth sting...Good shave but I think my skin was still a little irritated in some areas even before the shave. The New LC is a great shaver and it's teaching me about my tendency to add pressure. Easy does it. I think I end up adding pressure in those areas where I just can't seem to find the right angle. ARBAC produces an explosive lather as usual but I could have added a bit more water I think as the glide was not as good as last time. Using the neutrogena as a preshave helps with the cushion but not so much the glide and that's where I cut myself. I wonder is shaving with cold water might work better for me. Gotta experiment some more. Happy Shave gents!

Thanks, Joe!

That's where I start with every DE, then;

Tip the handle until I can hear that crunchy toast, Velcro ripping sound of each hair popping. My Face Mapping is both direction of beard & planes. That first pass WTG makes all the noise then it's opposite direction trying to keep the same angles.

Made me question why the guards are there until I saw a photo of a Stivette and the bold razor. Safety!
