  14. Charlie, make sure your grocery person brings you a bag or two of flaxseeds :).

  15. Gary, I'm glad you are part of our family here. It's a place where we can all hang out and be ourselves. Shave with a Tech or use MWF, if you want. Lots of support, prayers, and love (which we all need) get spread around here too. We even help each other learn to shave better, and on rare occasions, we enable each other. I'm especially thankful for @Primotenore who has been leading the charge and assisting us with proper punctuation.

    Life is again pretty quiet here at the moment. We are doing fine on the third day of our quarantine. My shaves have been especially good these past few days. I'm again enjoying the scent and feeling of using an aftershave. I put the Tabac away in favor of the Mike's Natural Soap and have decided to plow through a puck I've had for awhile. In my experience, Mike's lather is more slick but not as "cushiony" as Tabac. Both work great for me, but they are just a bit different. I probably just need to work the Mike's lather a bit more, and that's part of the fun.

    I hope you and your family are doing great. How many children do you have, and what do they do? Hang in there!

  16. Paul, thanks for the reminder. I'm out, but I'll put these on the list for the next time.

    As you can see, no issues today creating a superlative lather.
    I was careful to grip the brush by the knot until the lather "loosened up"

    Once the lather started to form, I gripped the brush by the handle.

    Final stage of lather creation and you can see we have a glorious product:

    What would Primo's post be without a glamor shot?:

    The shave was outstanding and my face was left moisturized and smooth.
    The Skin Food Splash was the icing on the cake.
