  10. Nice shave Paul! I know you have been getting a lot of info on lathering. However, it seems by your own admission that you still struggle with it. I think you focus too much on loading time. Personally, I think your problem is not enough loading time. I think you should try just counting 100 swirls and if the brush is still not loaded to your satisfaction, then add another 50. My suggestion serves 2 purposes. One, the time element is no longer an issue and two, you will have more than enough soap to give you 3 passes and then some.

  12. I didn't end my sentences with a preposition, but with prepositional phrases. An example of ending a sentence with a preposition is answering somebody like this, "I want to." Obviously, to is a preposition. I don't mind being corrected Paul, but I hold a Master's degree and have written many graduate level papers so my grammar is pretty exceptional. Now, my typos are another matter.

  13. Thank you Jeff..Yes the safety razor is from the 'Lord Camp'..The L125 has a Merkur 34c Style head. They also do the Lord L6 which has a 'Tech' Style head..I get along with Lord blades. Take it easy, and enjoy your day. :cool:

  14. I will indeed think of exceeding the # I do, since my swirl strength is not that of one who "treats it(the soap)like it owes you money" as has been advised by....well, he know who he is:). That should at least cut down on the "watery" appearance as I do my first pass.

  15. I wasn't correcting YOU, I was using my example to say how I might have otherwise ended the sentence. Sorry to confuse.
