  1. Jason is planning to do another LE run in the near future. The "30 DC LE" name is his. I don't mind working with him on a joint project that uses that name, but my LE needs a different name. Jason's work is unique and demonstrates a completely different skill set from mine. Out of respect for his talent and long history, I feel it best to reserve that name for @jtspartan.

    We will come up with something creative for me to use.
  2. Sunday's Shave
    #SEptember
    #G7DC (day 2)

    PAL Injectomatic
    Personna Blade
    Semogue 820 Boar
    B&M Bay Rum Shaving Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Grand Bay, Bay Rum Aftershave

    Day 2 of the G7DC was fantastic. I'm going to try making the most of this focus, so today I decided I would prioritize minimizing my usual buffing strokes on the residual lather to see if I can improve my shaves. I utilized longer strokes and did not repeat back over un-lathered areas, emphasising on maintaining the proper angle. The end result was a nice surprise. 3 full passes with zero blade buffing provided a better than usual comfortable shave and a near BBS. There was almost no sting from the aftershave and my face/neck feel like I could go back for another shave right now. I will take this result as a notice that I'm most likely needlessly overshaving. I also shortened my brush loading time to around 20 seconds and the lather was much easier to develop today.

  16. i can imagine,no tie for me but collared shirts and coveralls at the dealership jobs.i am sure their wash chemicals they used aggravated things as well,.
  17. It is not new.. Diagnosed over ten years ago, went to PT which helped a little. Insurance lifted the number of sessions. Just recently it has begun to aggravate me more.
