I have experienced a similar "shaving fatigue", to the point where I am now going about a week between shaves. My light beard has always let me go 3-4 days between. Now I just look stubbly for a day or two. I never have been able to shave in the mornings. It was always an evening ritual fo...

Finally, something useful gleaned from high school algebra

I thought of something recently that I wanted to share with you all. I shave with four passes. The first is downward, basically with the grain.

"Diamond Edge" blades - Gillette in the package?

I was at a beauty supply store near work yesterday, looking for swimmers' shampoo, and I found a super-cheap-looking DE razor for sale with a pack of blades. I didn't bite, but right nearby were the blades alone. For $2.25 per 5-pack, I figured it couldn't hurt. The brand name on the package is &quo...

It sounds like I may be getting a Techmatic that belonged to my grandfather! Would you still have any usable carts to sell? PM if so. Thanks!

I should let everyone know that I have received a blanket offer to take whatever remains unsold from my original post by COB on Friday. If you are interested in anything in my first post , please let me know in the next couple of days. Again, I can't thank you all enough for what you've done for us.

Both of bargepole's brushes have now been spoken for. Payment not yet received.

This is starting to become overwhelming. Someone has paid me for items someone else had spoken for previously. Please PM first before sending Paypal!

Bargepole's Chrome Slant and Gold Progress have been paid for.

The red-tip Rocket offered by GollyMrScience is spoken for, payment pending. The other English rocket awaits its buyer.

I am stunned speechless. I can't tell you all how much this means to me.

Indeed! I'm floored. I just got an offer to buy my red-handled Superspeed, and didn't know what they were talking about!

Notes on my recent absence

I just wanted to let everyone know that I don't hate you. :-) I've been away from SMF for about ten days due to a combination of factors. I'm participating in Sue's study of soaps and creams, so I didn't want to be tempted to discuss my day-to-day shaving experiences. Also, I had begun spending too ...
