  13. When I went to Colorado at about this time last year, I just let the time go by and said something like "See ya in 10 days". I didn't do much catching up when I returned, I just jumped back in.

  20. Hello everyone
    Saturday straight or slant, good question.
    Well, I went with both, first pass with my focus shavette and a half Kai blade on the face, second pass and head with my Parker 55SL and a Feather blade. No issues and I am as clean and smooth as ever. The tub of Stirling is getting low, but there is still many great shaves left in it.
    The last few days I've been trying to notice just how I grip my safety razors. I noticed I use a 3 finger grip, kinda like you'd hold a cigar, using the other fingers to control the movement and position. Didn't mean to do this, it just happened.
    Wild!
