Yes always always use the PTFE blades, the store brand ones are junk. Makes a world of difference

This mornings shave was a boker edelweiss that I just finished with a zulu gray. I had never used the stone before.

I learned that zulu grays put a nice finish on edelweiss edges.

I learned Neutrogena's men's daily face wash works great for a pre-shave.

That my favorite blade keeps changing. Usually it's either Personna Lab or Med Prep. Now it's starting to be SuperMax Titanium.

That's a nice blade, the titaniums.

They sure are. They are extremely cheap too. $12 for 100 on razorbladesandmore.

So... that's what the kids are calling it these days, huh?

I am gonna heed your thoughts on grip. I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands. Thanks for the tip!

I recently bought a Tawn mens travel kit for $10. I bought it mostly for the beautiful minty Gillette Tech it contained, but most of the products still have contents.
Today I learned that I like hair tonic a lot. At least Tawn hair tonic. I keep my hair cropped to well under an inch so I didn't think I would get much out of it. I was wrong! I guess one more step in the grooming regimen won't hurt.

Oh the GEM Junior Parade Fat Handle is great for pain in hands. I have psoriatic arthritis in my hands. The Featherweight is good too

From my last shave I learned that I still don't like Rapira Platinum that much, but they aren't that bad of a blade.

I learned the yellow 7 O'Clock blade is evil (slight exaggeration).

From my last shave(this morning) I learned that with a good preshave prep a Trac2 cart mated to a Bump Fighter handle will give a pretty good shave...

Slow and steady wins the race. It also helps to have a Slim and a Personna 74* as well!

I prefer the carbon steel SE blades, some of which are "store brands", over the stainless by a large margin.

Oh that's true, some work better for others.

Today I learned that 100 year old razor technology is still good technology.

I didn't shave today, but you have piqued my interest in auto stropping razors.

I learned that the New Standard is still a terrific shaver and i like Lucky Tiger.

I learned that the ZIRH EdC I got for $2 was most likely a fake as the scent lingers for..uh...15 seconds. Good thing I got a full refund and got to keep the bottle.
