" Bad Day at Black Rock" - Spencer Tracy

Had to use 3 razors to complete a -DFS. First, I wanted to learn the SE technique. I found the angle right away(I thought), shaved the cheek down to just pass my ear, stopped and felt how smooth it was(it felt smooth as I was shaving), but it wasn`t cutting any hair. Changed over to my trusty Gillette SS( new GSB blade) and began chopping my face up. So here comes my Lady J. She really showed her stuff, with a smooth, completely maneuverable finish to at least a - DFS. Not happy, the Blue Blade cut a big gash on my upper lip(still hurts) it is what it is, and then there`s still tomorrow. May all who shave, do much better, with best wishes to all.

I'm sorry you cut yourself Bill but seems you did well considering the overwhelming amount of razors in this shave.

 

Thanks, Roby. I really needed that, thank you again.

Alan, very, very nice!
Welcome back!

 

My personal choice to 'pack light' and not carry any 'extra' gear.
In hindsight, this choice was shortsighted as I really missed the morning (or evening) shaving ritual.
Heck, even Mickey finds the time….

A very good shave today continuing on going through my Schick razors in preparation for the arrival of the Bunny. Yesterday was the Schick E3 which gave me a good shave, but not a great shave. The E4 is more aggressive than the E3, and one must adhere strictly to the no pressure rule. Next up is the Black Handle Canadian E.
