    Quick post before I have to feed the kids before the National Championship game starts. Roll Tide!!!

    Day 11 with the Electric Sheep single soap focus (SSF). Everything went as planned. Another 2+ pass comfortable and efficient shave with no irritation or mishaps to report. I am continuing my (other) focus this month of discarding the razor blades after two uses. I think it is helping me avoid the occasional neck irritation that shows up on shaves 3 or 4 with a blade. This is the 5th blade brand used this month and they have all provided excellent performance.

  7. Thank you Jason. The meds have helped some.

    Thank you Jeff. I love the OREN potato peeler. ;) The meds seem to be working. I hope you are recovering from your procedure.
  8. thank you Myles..first silvertip..it's a chinese badger like most brushes but affordable if i don't like it.best badger has been my mainstay so far.i like some backbone..test lather was nice..:)
  9. Same here, Dave. I'm not sure what difference glue dots make, or why anyone would remove the blade until it goes in the bin.
  10. thank you Clint...:)..not top shelf but easily attainable here locally.

  18. some call it passionate..:D..too much lockdown time..
  19. My blade comes out after every shave. I have hard water so I dry my razors after each use to prevent mineral stains. I didn't do that at first because all my razors were solid metal and polishing them up every once in awhile was no big deal. It's when I added plated razors to the collection that drying became part of the routine.
