    I started to trim my ear hairs after a barber started trimming them years ago and I wish he would not of because once trimmed they grow like a beard hair. I found two razors that work well with ear hair trimming after inflecting nicks and cuts is the Gillette slim turned to 1 and I trim the blade tabs so they do not cut me also. 2nd razor that works even better than the slim is the Oneblade Core because no fussing with the blade and it's difficult to cut yourself.

    January 26

    Razor - 1946-47 Gillette Aristocrat
    Blade - [​IMG] (2)
    Soap - Soap Commander Courage
    Brush - 30DC LE Meet Up w/ SynBad
    Post - Alum

    Finally time to shave after another long but profitable day. The sun actually came out today, or at least that's what Google said that light in the sky was. Not sure but I'll take their word for it. Second shave with the Aristocrat and Sharp Star. Another day with Soap Commander and the 30 DC Meet Up brush did a good job opening that hole in the bottom a bit wider. Nice, slick lather and three passes to the BBS so no worries at all. Great way to finish off the day and get set for a new week! Meetings all day tomorrow. Yuck. Hope you all have a great Monday!

    3rd Taiga shave - and an incredible one at that! After 3 passes (3rd one at setting 6 except on the neck) resulted in BBS but 2 small weepers that quickly resolved. I probably shouldn't have been buffing at that blade gap without applying more shave soap . I definitely blame myself for that. More shaves coming. Happy shaves all.

    After the Rotbart, yesterday, there wasn't much to shave today: hence a mild razor and a repeating gear.
