Race To The Finish PIF Part Two. Choose Your Cream!

[TobyC]

Sorry to hear that Toby, but if anyone can make it work again, its you. Hopefully you can find a broken one with a good spring.

Thank you sir! I'm gonna try,.. to me "broken" just means that I haven't fixed it yet.

Thats cool Jay. I'm excited to teach my boy about shaving some day (he's not quite 1 yet...so its a little ways off).

Hey man, ya gotta start em young!!!!

 

[TobyC]

Have you seen the little plastic shave kits they sell at Cracker Barrel for kids? They're pretty neat. It's got a little razor, brush and mug. Everything a toddler needs!

I searched on Google, is this the one?

 

[David]

I think that's the one Toby.

We've made it past the half way point. Time to get serious!

Time to do what now? Is that a thing?

 

[TobyC]

So,.... we're gettin down to brass tacks?

 

[wxc1006]

Serious? If that's what this PIF is about then I don't want any part of it!

Edit: Seriously

 

[Garlisk]

Alright, run done...time to shower and shave. Lets see if I can get that BBS today.

Gonna use the Futur with Astra SP (2nd use), proraso pre shave, and TOBS grapefruit cream. I'll let you know how it went.

Todays shave postponed due to arrival of Santa post. But ain't gonna be able to get any candidates ready. So.. back to the KT's. Sooo dissapointed.

My younger boy has had an empty Tech that he 'shaves' with, but before I know it, I'm sure he'll be reaching for the real thing as well.

 

[Garlisk]

No BBS...possibly DFS though. Got a few nicks, but nothing major. The Astra SP did not perform as well this time around...halfway through the shave it started tugging more.

Then, after all that, I tried an aftershave for the first time...Aqua Velva Ice Blue. It was available locally, and I knew I liked the menthol feel because of the proraso pre shave. It was a very brief, but very 10/10 painful burning. Wow.

I noticed for myself, and several others have said as well, that the moment you stop chasing bbs and just enjoy your shaves you will get closer to achieving it than ever before. Took me over 2 years to learn that... Search the archives for some threads on chasing bbs and see for yourself.

I also use blue ice. I know what you mean. OOOOWWWAAAaaaahhhhh...

Thanks for the heads up wxc1006. I'm not really "chasing" it so much as knowing that's the pinnacle of shaving (I guess.) As for enjoyment...well...I certainly am. My wife is doing her absolute best to be patient with me when I talk excitedly about such a mundane task.

Ha thanks! I know what you mean. My wife is very VERY supportive, but I still try not to bore her too much by rambling on about shaving related things.
