What did we learn from our last shaves?

Silver Blue's provided a pretty decent 2 pass shave today.

 

For those who haven't seen it and an encore for those who have forgotten. Watch at the 4 minute mark and be sure to use sound.

 

Lol! "Holy balls"

 

I learned,

Shaving in a hurry is very hard. I need to figure out how to shave when I have only 15 - 20 minutes. I didn't get any prep other than PSO and I paid for it.

 

Silver Blues are my current Fave! Welcome to WDWLG (what did we learn, gentlemen?)!
@youngunn may have started a thing with this thread...

I learned today, by virtue of participating in TSD, and through my last shave...

that Yuma makes a serviceable razor.

 

I learned that the GEM Heavy Flat Top razor is capable of producing a great shave.
The jury is still out on the handle though

I also re-realized that the Zirh Erase tonic is fantastic.

 

Those are some great razors. Great.

 

Thanks, I'm hoping to see/read your thoughts on the Gillette Single Ring here soon

 

Just finished shaving with it.

Tonight I learned... The single ring old type is an amazing razor. After 3 swipes I ran into the living room, all lathered up, and exclaimed to my wife "I LOVE THIS RAZOR!"

 

Thoughts:
1) "Wow, can't wait until I try mine!"
2) How is he still married?

 

My wife puts up with my eccentricity. Lol

 

I agree, Proraso Green seems very forgiving finding the right water / cream balance.

 

I just taught my brother-in-law how to DE shave on Thanksgiving after dinner. I made a point to bring Proraso Green, as it provides very consistent lather. I think it is a soap suitable for shavers of all levels of skill/experience with the brush. The Red lathers just as well from my experience.

 

No shave today...

I maintained my shaving ignorance at status quo. But, this thread has become mandatory reading for all Samurai who hold Bama ties, ergo I am here now.

 

Don't fear the reaper - my Slim Adjustable DOES go above 4! I think it's time to be more aggressive so I turned it to 7 and there were no issues.

 

MdC is still the King of SoapLand.

 

Lol nice word picture.

 

I learned that I still like Perma Sharp Super (cardboard box) blades in my R41 better than Feathers. Thought I would try a Feather again to only confirm the Perma Sharp Super blades are smoother on the skin and still plenty sharp.

Happy Shave On To All,
Bill G

 

I learned I still dont like Feather platinum blades. Tried em again this morning, hoping the first time was inexperience....nope, stills not the one for me.

 

Two weeks using one razor, and I started to be good at this wet shaving thing. I switched to a Shick injector, and it's a relearning curve. Most of the face and under the chin are BBS. The neck is a little raw, due to different razor pressure, because of the different razor
