1. Haven't seen u use your merkur for a while
  2. Thank you Troy, Bird Lives, David, and Kevin. I sat down last night and processed the significance of what yesterday meant and how important it is to celebrate. I feel more in love with my wife yesterday, and I will stop there before it gets cheesier :D

  3. At one time I couldn't put it down, it's a great razor IMO, and I need to use it more often. Like tomorrow:)

    I've been struggling with my technique this week. I shaved off my goatee and have apparently forgotten how to shave my chin. Nothing serious just a few weepers but I find poor technique aggravating. Anybody can make a mistake but I've been making them to consistently. Have a good one.

  10. Sunday:
    hot shower w/Pecksniff's Sandalwood & Vanilla body wash
    Maggard Cherry Sandalwood Vanilla PSO
    StickSchick 2 passes
    Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
    Omega boar
    Gold Dachs Sandalwood soap in a warm mug
    Thayers unscented w/aloe

    It would have been easier to just load a Schick blade but I was able to get a Personna loaded without damaging it.
    Stopped in a Marshall's store last night and picked up a few specialty soaps including a couple flavors of Pecksniff's body wash for a very good price.

  11. Sunday, September 21, 2014 - Birthday Shave

    Prep: Warm shower, Cetaphil Lotion
    Razor: Schick Adjustable M2
    Blade: Schick (1)
    Lather: WSP Lavender
    Brush: Oscar11 w/ Omega 20248 Knot
    Post: Witch Hazel, Cetaphil Lotion
    Aftershave: Shulton Old Spice

    I didn't shave yesterday, so I had plenty of growth for today. This was the first time I used a Schick blade and it was great. I found it to be much sharper and smoother than the Personnas. All of the WSP soaps I have tried are very nice and the Lavender has a wonderful scent. I finished with a very smooth, easy BBS shave.

    Have a great day!
