What did we learn from our last shaves?

Especially when you try to explain it's your French Hoe?

 

Hmm.. I really tried to understand the joke, but im Sadly missig it

 

Go to the Castro district!

 

Let's go in your Z3

 

Nice. I'll put the top down.

 

I think this is what happens when you quote one person but intend to reply to another

 

That makes sense =)

 

I learned that for me a Supermax Blue diamond blade only last two shaves.

 

I learned that I may love a Voshkod in an iKon but I can't stand it in an SS. Also, Cade balm is fantastic but the cream sucks (I knew that part, I just forgot because it had been so long so I'd used it).

 

Gentlemen, from my last shave...

Maggard OC looks wild, shaves mild.

 

Don't rush whilst using a Feather blade as blood will be spilt. Less haste more speed.

 

That I'm kicking myself for taking four years to shave with a black handled super speed!

 

1. Never, never put orange EO in a bowl to lather with unscented glycerin soap (what was I thinking?);
2. Never shave with a DE when you are distracted;
3. Never shave when the mirror is even partially fogged;
4. When one pass is a disaster, the second pass will not make things better;
5. Always check to see if the TTO is turned tight before starting your shave;
6. When you nick yourself and draw blood, stop, breath deep and consider whether you should scrap the shave and go back to bed.

Yes...I learned all this from one shave...

 

That wedge blades rulez and Voskhod drools

 

That I need to use my Micromatic open comb more and my Tabac soap

 

After just starting traditional shaving and completing a 30-Day Rule for technique, I've learned that I'm still a newbie, and I regret not starting this until nearly 60 years old...for I'll not learn or experience all the joy of those half my age on here who stay with it for a lifetime.

but I'll enjoy my share of the ride!

Cheers!

(...and perhaps spend a LOT less money on this than some of you have!
Always gotta find the bright side!)

 

OMG NO!

I was tempted by the announcement by @Darkbulb yesterday re: a Slim for sale. But as I normally lean towards anonymity, I could never handle the ridicule!

I have enough patience to last til August.

(In fact I have so much patients, I shoulda been a doctor!)

 

Great stuff!!

 

I learned that after a year of traditional shaving using soaps and creams, I still can't get good lather from a bowl. I went back to canned goo for a few months (long story) then spent a few weeks bowl lathering, and the past couple of days head lathering. I cannot get good lather from a bowl no matter what I try. Just doesn't work for me.
