I was feeling like an expert.

    Just the old brain taking over (an altered state).
    Some things are best left to the old brain, like sex.

    Yep, since that day, it's like if my mind got a hold on all the information I gave it and kept only what was necessary for the job...

    It is very zen now, not always perfect but more fun, that's for sure.

    I even threw away all my 3-4-5 blades razors I had to keep only my straights. I will buy a DE someday just in case I need that type of shave, and because I already have some DE blades that I use(d) with a shavette.

    And I refinished my bathroom lately to give it a more relaxing mood.

    I didn't mention what I am using now for shaving, except the new products for the skin, because I was already asked if I was crazy before because of things I was doing differently...

    For example, I began wood carving last year and I like to use manual tools to do the things the old way instead of using power tools. Some people don't undestand that I am doing that because it would be faster with big modern tools. Hey, I'm not crazy, I still use band saws and electric tools when needed, but I carve to relax and have fun, not to make money, so I don't care the time it takes to complete a carving.

    Ouba ouba boo...

    Thumbs up

    If it makes you feel good, then good for you.
    It has nothing to do with making money, whatever others think.

    Enjoy
