Same everything, two passes, a few touch-ups, and no boo-boos resulted in a successful whisker conquest and a near-BBS mug! I'm having some success with new stretches and cross strokes on my chin. This is an area that I hope to improve with this focus.

Grace and Peace.

 

I've been reading a lot about chin-stretching, never tried it.

 

Thank you, Myles.

 

Nice, Charlie.

 

Attaboy @brit and everyone!

It has been a Magnificent Seven-Day Focus!


With learning opportunities here and there...

 

Darn near broke the lather.

 

Well done with your focus, Gary! Schick injectors are fabulous tools. I would gladly recommend one of them to anyone that wants to get into traditional shaving. If you can't get an easy, great shave from an injector, you probably won't get one from any traditional gear. The only downside to injectors is blade availability. Most every pharmacy carries DE blades, and sometimes GEM blades. Not so much the case with injector blades.
But since you think they're so damn ugly, I'll be happy to take that "66" off your hands.

 

Those two sitting in McQueen and Bronson's chairs don't look like them(to me).

 

Short of the garden hose, I cleared the breach; lather was starting to get nice 'n shiny; dipped the entire knot in the water and evidently did not shake it out enough. It's barely hanging on in this photo.

 

quite likely..i am looking forward to the nice green forest scents like T and S Boreal..

A soap by Barrister & Mann that smells like a campfire. At least it's supposed to...kind of. From what I read about the scent, it smells more like you rolled in the ashes of a campfire once they were cool enough.
