SoS Aug 6 - 12

Instead of going ATG try to shave using a pattern similar to this < when going ATG. This will be much less damaging to your neck and with practice you will be able to achieve BBS just the same. The right side of my neck grows E-W so using a straight here is a peril to say the least. I use this pattern to achieve BBS on that side. Once you reduce the stubble one easy ATG pass should be enough.

Well....i usually do a WTG and XTG. There is one or two spots on my neck where it grows in a hurricane pattern...that i was trying to clean up with an ATG pass....needless to say...it hurt. Times like this, i wish we could have like shaving tupperware parties

 

No shave Sunday. Using my "new" Richwood razor, I butched myself under my chin on Saturday. It appears to be an aggressive razor and future use will determine that.

Shave for Monday:

Avon Driven pre-shave scrub
C&E BBB
Gillette Milord with Swedish Gillette day 2
Erasmic Shave Cream
Aqua Velva Classic

Tomorrow will be the last day for the AV 5oz bottle. The new 7oz will be placed next to the new 7oz bottle of Skin Bracer.

She proceeded to tell me.....you do this all the time....seems like alot of work..i told her to calm down.and relax.....lathered up both of her arm...and went to work. She wanted a North to South and South to North pass. She was shocked at how nice the lather was. She said, that her can stuff doesnt work as well and she loved the smell. She then stated after we were done..."Maybe you can buy me a soap and brush....then you can tell all your shaving buddies you got your sister into wet shaving" ROFL

I can only remember that I used the Merkur 12C Open Comb with a Sharp Blade this morning. I only had 3 hours sleep last night if that. I did manage to give myself a 4.6/5.0 shave though. Don't ask me how. I don't have a clue.
