    Thanks Guy, I love it! I find it very easy to maneuver and the shave is close but also comfortable. :)

    Yup you just have to wing it for the most part. It is a lot of fun though. If you befriend someone affiliated with a pilot then you can usually go for free depending on the pilot. My father in law has never charged anyone to fly.

    Sunday Shave

    Cold water
    Pso-Homemade mint oil
    Razor-Gillette Flare Tip SS
    Blade- Feather (2)
    Brush- RazoRock Plissoft
    Soap- RazoRock XXX
    Thayers Witch Hazel
    ASB- Pinaud "Veg"

    Everything came together today for an irritation free BBS. After reading all the talk the last few days on the XXX I decided to use it today. I love the scent and it almost lathers itself. The Flare Tip and RazoRock brush worked flawlessly. I had a full 2 days growth and the Feather mowed it down. It was much smoother on the second day than on the first. I went right to left, then left to right, then up. I only had 1 small spot left to touch up for the baby. The Thayers cooled everything off and the Veg finished it up. It was a great way to wipe away the last few days. Have a great day folks!

    Yeah, I know what you mean, I`ve tried several soaps and just can`t make lather like with the creams. I won`t give up. Never say "Uncle". Persistence, persistence, persistence, i say. But that`s just me. Good luck with your endeavor.

    Bill
    P.S. Let me correct something, I DO have good success with Italian Barber soap. In my mind i`m thinking, "soaps" as the cake type soaps like Williams. Italian Barber, which is softer as almost creams, sorry, my bad. Still, good luck and God Bless.
