SoS Dec 10 - 16, 2007

I only meant that I've had nothing but great shaves with any of my TSD soaps. Where's the challenge in that?! On the other hand, I heard your favorite color was pink! :rofl

M500/IP(3)
Duke 3
CF Cedarwood & Sandalwood s/c
WWR
touch up with disposable Gillette
CWS

No need. I already have several - another brand of course.

Had a multitasking-shave today:

Got up way too late - I overslept. While I got dressed I already gathered my shaving gear, headed to the bathroom and let the water run until it got hot. Washed my mug with soap and lathered up with my BK4 and New Karo Sensitive cream. Still rubbing the brush around my face I turned on the 'puter and made coffee. First pass, with my Liese Slant and a Treet Platinum blade. While lathering up for the second pass I entered my password at my computer, afterwards I let follow 2 more, quick passes. I rinsed, applied Aqua Velva Musk and Armani Aqua di Gio ASB, got my cuppa joe, checked my mails and went to do some important things before I drove to town to pick up a buddy of mine for a shopping tour.

I only needed around 10 minutes for the whole shave and all the other things I did during shaving but I was rewarded with a mighty clean and stubble-free face

 

Chicks dig scars. Heal up quick!

Have a look with the florist too.. I have a friend that have a Bay-tree on the window sill, so I can get leaves as fresh as they ever could come!

 

Thanks. I hope that's true :ashamed001

Other than the bleeding it was a great shave. I really like that little swede. Now if I can just get her to like me.

 

Today I used my FatBoy for the first time! And.. I learned a lesson too :ashamed001

I started the lather with my EJ Aloe soap, worked up a nice batch that would be enough for a good 2 pass shave.

I had loaded the FatBoy with a W1 Gillette Thin Blade. And then I started the shave...

EEK! The blade chugged across my face, no scars, but this was a horrible experience! Halfway through the 1st pass I decided this couldn't continue, changed the blade to a Feather.. and BLISS!

The FatBoy notched to 3 with a Feather was just superb!

I'll try again tomorrow, maybe the fantastic sensation only was in contrast to the chugging of the "Thin Blade".

I really liked the weight and feel of the FatBoy compared to the SS.
