You can eventually progress to a razor sharp pocket knife and then an ax.

It really is not a big problem until you start honing your fingernails

Razorlicious!

No shave for two and a half daze. I almost never shower before I shave but I did today, then I tried the prep that Max found and tried and posted from the old Robeson booklet. And me too - WOW! - I think the most comfortable shave that I have had. Of course I did shower first, and used my new hot pot scuttle with uber lather. But I still think that the prep made a real difference too. Thanks for the awesome tip Max.

Thanks jhenry. She is droolsomelicious. Now just between you and me and the fence post, you notice that it is one of Max's fine craftsmanship and of course his photography is phenom too fortunately since I don't have a camera and am not into photography and we don't want him to get too much of the big head, but, drop dead gorgeous seems to be the only kind of work that he knows how to do.

Good shave, a tad bit of heat, not much burn, no cuts. About a week into shaving with a straight. Love it! Tonight I even managed to get rid of the little Hitler whiskers that I had not been able to single out over the week...




I have to get a new camera. Especially since we are expecting in July!

Speick Shave Stick
Pinaud Bay Rum + Noxzema for post-shave

I'm going to continue using the bay rum pre-shave idea for a few more shaves to see if I missed anything. I really didn't notice much difference this time. My face does feel great, though.
