Quest for a better shave

[GBerry]

Hope that nick heals up quickly, sir.

Thanks, I may use a less efficient razor / blade combo for a couple of days.

Cheers.

Please heal quickly. Looking forward to your impressions of the Wizamet SI.

Thanks, Thom. I may use a less efficient combo for a day or two.

Cheers.

To tune up for an event, @Balin Always nice to not look you were jumping cargo trains to make an appearance even if it does convey how much you wanted to attend.

Hmm, maybe I should try that approach. Lately I am in the routine of shaving after work. Maybe I will get more respect at the office if I shave before work .

 

[GBerry]

Two shaves in the same day!!

Indeed.

@Balin , @thombrogan IMO, The key to being able to shave twice in a day is to not shave too closely on the previous shave, the current shave and the next shave. I leave a little stubble for seed!!!

Cheers!!!

I will take that into consideration. The only time I have been successful, as in, no irritation, was with a Henson Mild and a new blade!

So sell off your lousy non-Henson razors to buy more brushes and live the life of Riley?

Man, I boxed up 18 brushes that just don't see use. If they are still boxed at the end of the summer I may have to have a blowout sale on the BST. I am afraid this may come back to haunt me, but after these last 4 brushes arrive, I might be done .
