Since it is autumn, how do you feel about menthol?

    My package took a strange route to me. Spain-Germany- Switzerland-New York-California. 15 days, well worth the wait.

    OCTOBER FOCUS - OLD TYPES

    Three shaves in with the late 20's Old Type after using my Single Ring. I still think these are completely different razors. (I know, I know they're both Old Types.). But, where the SR feels light and maneuverable, the later OT feels heavier and clumsier. That being said it only took three shaves to get a sweet BBS with the "younger" OT.

    I agree about KnockOut Shave soaps! I have two and love them, Cotton is my favorite and in my top five.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    Hand strop that and it should work fine, especially with the pre-shave oil. Gotta be better than a Flying Eagle.

    I normally wouldn't quote myself but I just realized that I'm 7 hours since my early afternoon shave and I think I'd still pass the "cotton test". My face is as smooth as when I left the house. Wow.

    I am in a trip visiting my daughters in San Diego. I brought my thirty day focus razor and the next blade in my rotation with me.
    [​IMG]
    Today was my first day with the Gillette Platinum. This blade was exceptionally smooth for a first pass on day one. I got a very nice two pass shave with it. Not quite BBS but it's not the blades fault. I was in a hurry and didn't do my usual cleanup pass.

    :happy102: If you only knew. It takes me at best 1.5 hours to go 18 miles for the morning commute. I hate Atlanta traffic.

    Thank you my friend. I liked the brush from the beginning but this focus has really opened my eyes to how well it works for me. I am truly grateful for the PIF and will continue to use it on a regular basis. Plus it even whips up Mystic Water shave soap. ;)

    I think Atlanta ranks right up there with the worst traffic in the US. Sad thing is I avoid a lot of traffic by taking back roads. :angry032:
