    That you're willing to share, anyway.

    Mine is pretty boring: I have an Old Spice mug but I do not use it for shaving. I use it to drink coffee.

    Next?

    It might be seen as "dark" here but i shave with a cartridge razor sometimes.

    Me too, but I suspect there's more of us Trac II degenerates lurking about here than we think.

    As much as I wanted one, I don't think I ever had a true BBS shave.

    There are others...

    I love shaving, but I also miss having a beard. I truly wish I had two faces, one to shave clean and the other to have a beard.

    Some of the best shaves I ever had were from an old Remington electric razor.

    Honestly, I'm not that big of a fan of the vintage Gillette's, yeah I can get a decent shave out of the Super Speeds, but I would rather use my Parker, even if the plating sucks....

    That's all I can really think of...

    I don't like Super Speeds. I don't really like FatBoys and Slims that much.

    I love all my soaps and creams - but Col Conks Bay Rum always takes me back to that first shave with my DE.

    Within reason, I don't much care how anything smells.

    After my final pass, I always have enough lather left over for at least one, heck, maybe even two or more passes. I take all that left over lather and take it to the face as if I am going to do one more pass. I leave it there until everything else is picked up, dried, and put away. Then I rinse.

    I guess I do this for two reasons.
    1 - I know some soaps, like MWF, contain products that can actually help soften the skin. Leaving it on the skin can only make it better, right? What I don't know is what, if any, of my current soaps have any ingredients that actually help. :happy102

    B - Here's the real reason... I just want to smell the fantastic smells of my soaps just as long as I can :D

    I love using the Trac II. A lot.

    I still use my electric right under my nose (1 tiny little strip) and at the corners of my mouth :rolleyes:

    I like this thread.

    I've come very close, but when I try to do more then two passes I end up with a ton of irritation. I normally do two passes and get a pretty nice shave, but it's no where near BBS along the jawline and neck. The extra bit of smoothness just isn't worth the added irritation.
