    Truth spoken!

    I feel confident and cool as I shave these days. I no longer lock the door and almost always have my 10 year old son in the room chatting with me. I am capable of a great shave if I can get the stroke directions right...

    My silly face has so many different grains that I can never concentrate enough to remember them all. Ahhh the joys of learning....

    Do you mean "Thyme"?

    I have not tried that...perhaps that is what I am doing wrong

    Yes! You are absolutely right! Thyme was the right word! And you know what a wonderful aroma and flavor thyme can add to any food!
    Than simply prove I MUST not post messages when I am in a hurry.

    Sage would be a nice scent. I always enjoy it when I'm cooking

    A shave soap seasoned like a good stew or spaghetti sauce would be an interesting thing, no?

    Back to chins... I shave mine last, along with the 'stache, and rinse off/replace the original lather before I do. That way those whiskers get a presoak cycle and I'm not fighting them through drying lather.

    Sounds like a lot of faceturbating in the early posts. No shame in that, we all do it. It's how you can learn your grain while away from your shaving gear. Just don't give yourself zits!

    I generally go cheeks, jaw, sides of neck, upper lip, chin, under chin. Seems to work well and I like to leave the middle of my neck for last as I have a rather large mole just above my Adams apple that likes to get cut even with cartridges

    Ah, yes, and those darn moles are so well vascularized!

    Usually I can time it so that I raise the edge just before reaching it to clip those 3 ugly hairs coming out of the thing. Sometimes I lift a little too early & have to try again. So far, knocking quite vigorously on wood, I haven't cut it with a straight yet. Of course if I did that I likely wouldn't have to have it removed as the thing would be sliced clean off!
