Thanks to all the good folks on here for tips and information. I have bee using a straight razor for about a month better and I am really getting the hang of it. One of nicest things, as touched on by Lynn in his video, is how it forces me to slow down a little and not be in a bug hurry. It is good to take a little time and just focus on yourself for a few minutes. I think I now am accumulating more skin care products than my wife....but she picks some of them and does like me smelling good! Thanks again for a great forum.
