    Ouch, very sorry Neal. I know you'll recover more quickly than most.

    (say, did all this happen just after you dispensed your advice on marriage counseling to @wmbjr ?
    just wondering....)

    After. Which is making me think karma is in the midst of kicking my butt.

    Shave 4
    09/08
    Pre: Village Barber
    Soap: TOBS Eton College
    Brush: Semogue SOC Badger
    Razor: Kai Excelia non folding
    Blade: Feather Proguard (4)


    Weird shave tonight. Dominant hand (left) was fine. But razor felt uncomfortable in my right hand for whatever reason and I ended up with a couple of tiny weepers on the areas I shaved with it.

    Can't work out why as I thought I was improving with my right hand.

    Had to do a bit of tidying up with my left and still managed to achieve BBS results.

    Razor: Gillette Executive (1960)(8)
    Blade: Gillette Platinum (7)
    Brush: WDC-4, Silvertip Badger, Butterscotch. (VIG) 24/67
    Cream: Lavena
    Bowl: Old Spice Late Glass Mug 04, 1970's- 1992
    A/S: Ship's Magic & Whitestar, Commemorative Flask, 1989-1991- The canteen shape bottle celebrates the Ship Magic, the winner of the first America's Cup race.
    The Flask is full so I use a new Classic Old Spice A/S.
    Day 9
    I used the razor on #8 this evening and although I got a great shave I believe #7 is my best setting. The cream I won in a PIF and I can't type the name on the tube as my keyboard doesn't have these character's. Last night for the Executive. I'll start with a Gillette Slim Adjustable tomorrow. I'll also use the same type of blade and brush to continue this focus. I'll use a different cream also as I wasn't that pleased with the Lavena. There is a Old Spice puck in the bowl, but I don't use it either.

    Don't let me scare you off. I think the way I sliced just chopped through a few extra capillaries creating a massive blood flow for a couple of minutes. Now it looks like a small scratch.

    It's ok. What I do with razor and blade combinations can usually be considered horsing around anyway. LOL

    So, if I'm hearing you right, it was right after your teddy bear disappeared and you learned that Santa isn't real that you started playing with Barbie dolls....is that it?

    Will you switch blade brand? Or you think you just got a misfit blade?

    Can't switch brand, I've only got Astra SP's. Think it was just a misfit blade.
