    GREAT thread. Might even be a good idea for a sticky. I'll at least be saving the link to send to newbies who ask for the "complete starter kit" info.
    Good call on the JM Frasiers. I still keep a tub around for quick DE shaves when I'm insanely rushed. (If it's REAL bad I have brishless cream...btu I try not to let my life get that busy).

    Hey Ray...

    Where do you get your Ogallala from? I can't seem to find it at any of the site-supported vendors.

    Thanks,
