    1 - Just because KMF is a womans cream doesn't mean a man cannot use it.
    2 - I love the Edwin Jagger DE89.

    I learned that a Feather Pro Super (SE) blade gives 13 great shaves -- and counting.

    Waiting for my 30 days to be up so I can buy some - 7 days down - I really want to know if the Ben Franklin soap smells like an older gentleman’s pantaloons at the end of a hot July day in Philadelphia, drafting important documents with no air conditioner. :drool:

    Franklin was also a womanizer so it may smell, well....

    I realized that for the last 3 months, I have only shaved with an SE razor. Huh...

    Gentlemen, from my last shave...

    An aggressive razor may be better for moderately sharp blades than a mild one.

    That Feather blades on their second outing, in a mild razor (Gillette Ball End Tech), produce outstanding results. I was still BBS after 24 hours. Definitely a go to combination if I'm depending on a great shave.

    I have always wondered how a fat bald guy became such a player

    The same reasons 200+ years ago still apply today. Money and power.

    I learned that many times I don't know as much as I think I know. You know?

    I had a run of really good, close, comfortable DFS and DFS+ head shaves with my Fatboy on 9, then with a shimmed DE89 when I sent my Fatboy to Captain Murphy at B&B for some TLC, then for the first couple of weeks with my R41 after Christmas. Then all of a sudden this week when I started back to work, I've had 4 not so good shaves in a row, 2 with the R41, 2 with the freshly cleaned and repaired Fatboy. Only getting to CCS not DFS, and there is more irritation.

    The only trend I can see is that my best shaves over the past few months have all come when I'm using my topical antibiotic. Looks like back to the dermatologist I go...

    I learned trouble always happens when you get in a hury - Let me just slap that razor across my bare naked neck for a quick touch up on that one little spot. :angry032:

    1. The shovel head isn't a bad razor. First experience was terrible. Tugging, rough, skipping. Today I had quite a nice shave with it.
    2. My skin must be dehydrated. I've been putting on just a little Tea Tree Oil blend before bed at night and a little just before I get out of the shower, in addition to my normal prep. My shaves have been continually improving since I started that.

    JR Reyes I scream for....chicken wings??

    I learned that the GEM Featherweight is a crazy good little shaver. The unique shape gives you perfect grip positions for each pass. This bad boy isn't going anywhere. I would recommend it for anyone looking to try a SE razor.

    Oh and that Latha is no joke...a really good performer. $10 bucks for 4 oz. is a steal for this kind of lather. The scent is 50/50, but if you like it, you have a winner.
