Welcome, @StormyWeather , from North Cackalacky. Let me suggest trying a cold water shave if you really want to cut down on irritation. Fellowship of Cold Water Shavers
Welcome @StormyWeather from a fellow New Yorker. I live on Long Island. I am a member of the 30 day crew and you will learn things at a faster pace in that thread. Check us out!
I'll check out the 30 day crew. Not from Long Island -- my parents went up the valley after the Bronx. So I'm along the Hudson. Did the whole long commute to NYC for a very long time though. (Tradeoff of personal time for salary and career. Not willing to make that tradeoff anymore though as I got older.)
Well, it's still nice to know someone on TSD is from my state. The 30 day crew are a nice bunch of fellas. We share shaving knowledge, SOTD pics and friendly jabs.
I was offered a job in the city (currently in the Albany area). I was told I could live on the Island. Nope. I was not willing to sit on the train for an hour or more each way, no matter how much I could make. I imagine your quality of life is better without the commute into the city.
