^ That's right there is petty cool

Actually, due to #2, I lost. I still cannot get over the fact that I have experienced that skin reaction to MWF. I swear that I am on the verge of buying a puck again just to have it around to sniff once and awhile. Man, that really bums me out!

1) I wonder what it would be like to shave my wife with my aristocrat and body shop cream
6) want to teach my wife to shave my face with a strait.
1-I cannot stand Old Spice. I know it's sacrosanct around here, but it makes me feel ill.
2-I don't care for DE razors. I've tried several, with myriad permutations of blades. They work fine, but I prefer using a straight blade. I only use my use my DE for shaving my torso. Yes, I admitted I shave my torso.
3-I actually love my shavette. I started with it to work up to a straight, but after using a halved Feather in my MD Dragon, even a full-hollow Wacker is too mild for me.
4- I'm cheap beyond belief (I'm Greek; what did you expect?) I just cannot justify paying any more than $30 for a razor, soap, cream, blades, brush, AS, cologne... Anything. I make up for it by pillaging antique malls and sales.
5-I'll probably never achieve a BBS shave, and I'm ok with that. I'm damn well going to try, but comfort comes before perfection.
6- This one is so shameful that it merits a 6th entry. I use Axe post-shave gel... And I love it.
I've been here on B&B for less than a month and already have 5
#1. Making lather and super lather just for the heck of it now that I have "making a good lather down." Sometimes I end up shaving with it when not even intending to shave at all. I later have found out that I need a shower before shaves and my face really doesn't like "shave at the spur of the moment.
#2. Always acquiring different types of blades now that I have the technique down. I started with feather blades before coming to B&B. That "smarted"
#3. Already planning future purchases / trips to WCS, NYC, and the like to get stuff. Freekin MAD.
#4. Spending a lot of time on B&B and on threads like this one. Yes, I actually did read all 579 posts and some actually made me giggle. Others made me go, "now I feel better about that"
#5. Seeing what sampler packs I can get from where as I want to try it all. I know I can only shave once a day w/o irritation so I just want to see what I can try since DE shaving from day one [for me] has left my neck happy (read: no razor burn / ingrown hairs). If only I had found out about DE shaving 15 years earlier, I could have shaved myself all the irritation from electrics, cartridges, and disposables.
I'm sure I'll be adding to this list soon.
Super Speeds offer just as close a shave with less irritation and less chance of taking a divot. From my face, of course.1. I shave my private parts with my Merkur 34C HD. Thats why I never will buy an used razor.
