Hi Basil,
Sometimes, the best shaving experience is not shaving at all...and as you so eloquently put it: "go for the Hobo" look. Our face needs a vacation from this too, heh? :beer1:
I have done that a few times, and it's time to do it again...perhaps, this coming weekend (hopefully).

The Pen's SC was even better today as I found the sweet spot for the water/cream mixture, and the DD just gives me such a consistently good shave. I hope you all have days as great as mine has started out...:gl:
