  5. Interesting historical story. I head shave twice two summers ago since I do not like to be hot when it get humid her on Long Island. I still have a decent head of hair through thinning.
    For about three seasons of the year I have the barber cut it at zero on the sides and one on top. Now with the whole COVID nonsense, I have resorted to using my beard trimmer, I don’t have a beard anymore, to shave my head. I tend to leaves little fuzz. The missus likes to rub the head, states it is fun for her. Ah the simple pleasures.
  6. I shave my head every 2 to 3 days. I prefer the smooth cueball look all year round. Unless it is really cold, I don't wear a hat.
  7. Yup, Tri-state folks are an interesting group. Sorry I missed the meetup. Hope to catchier next time.

  9. It's been my experience that most words sound better when you throw 'tim' in them... but I'm bit biased ;)
  10. Well, let's see about this....Masstimchusetts, apartiment, patimrade, 4-leatimf clover.....shall I go on?

    Shavette Shave #70

    Gear
    • Razor: Max Headroom Focus R21 Shavette
    • Blade: Personna Blue--been shaving with this brand for forever; it’s been my benchmark blade (does blade 'x' shave better or worse than the Personnas?)
    • Brush: Stirling Finest Badger--the brush did very well for me today. If I take the time to get a “super goop” lather (sometimes difficult if I’m bowl lathering), I can get it to distribute the lather pretty evenly.
    • Soap: Stirling Glastonbury & Stirling Iced Pineapple--twice as much Glastonbury as IP is about perfect (chilled with ice water, 6 Frost Drops added)
    • Menthol: Stirling Frost Drops
    • AS: Avon Wild Country (1 Frost Drop added)
    • Balm: Stirling Glacial Unscented

    The Shave
    3 pass shave today: WTG, XTG, and ATG. No blood, and only a hint of tugging during my shave. I’m somewhere between a DFS and CCS, and in spite of some significant touching up on the chin, I’m not suffering from any irritation. Would I like things a bit closer? Sure, but I’m still firmly in the rougher-with-no-irritation-is-better-than-smoother-with-some-irritation camp. And frankly, I’m not all that rough.

    Happy Monday everyone! :D

    70 down, 30 to go!
