I retired from the military in 2015 and immediately grew a goatee.
While doing that, I laid off the straights (I can hear the boo's).
Hated the results of the shave but loved the goatee.
I've been back at it for about a month...almost zero loss of muscle memory. POINT BEING AFTER TAKING THE LONG WAY AROUND THE BARN, I noticed that the blade is in motion before touching skin. GREAT POINT.
Shaving and shaping the goatee...well that takes some 'learnin' but I'm doing it without resorting to anything but the SR.

Dang but I missed my SR's and all that goes with it.
Nothing starts the day of better than Winning with a SR!!!!

Glad to be back Gents!!!
