Re: PIF: Little Vie Long Horse Hair
Terry...I don't have a whole lot of stuff...over the years I've kindly narrowed my stash down to the "what works" and "what doesn't work" ....but I find lately I'm starting the "disorder" in a small way. I do enjoy the horsehair brush and find the "it may work, let...

Re: PIF: Little Vie Long Horse Hair
I used the Vie Long little horsehair this morning and was well pleased with the results. I did a bit of background on the horsehair and it seems that it likes the harder soaps as the brush may be a little stiffer than the badger and softer than the boar. The "Van der Williams" mix was a gr...

Re: PIF: Little Vie Long Horse Hair
I received Ed's most generous Vie Long horse hair today. It is a beautiful piece of work. I shall tame the whiskers at 0500 on the morrow and a "sit-rep" will follow. Thank you kindly, Ed. Semper-fi....Mike

Re: Dry Shaving
Now that requires some pretty large quihones...no doubt!!! I've never tried dry shaving because I just enjoy the "preparation" to much!!! Grew a beard in my younger days...but the military-man in me got the better of the whiskers and off it came. Nope...no dry shaving for this homey!!! Sem...

Got wild an crazy....
Well...after being referred to as an "ole-stik-in-the-mud"....I decided to get crazy an buy a shave cream yesterday. Was at our local grocery (Ingles) in Murphy and picked up some Kiss My Face Key Lime. I must say...for a first shave with it, I am impressed. 18 hours later, I've barely got...

Re: Question for new members ???
Gary, good question and I believe it most definately encourages one to see that others are taking an interest and also taking the time to respond to a new post from a newbie..(myself in that catagory). Even a new DE or SR shaver can have some good intel to pass on. But mostly, I like to read where t...

Re: Knew better, did it anyways...
Thanks for the intel, gentleman. The product I was using (Brian) was the Razorock Fresco...a favorite for a long time before the "fat" bumped it down into second spot!! Joe's croap has served me well, I just didn't realize the difference in the "slickereryness" that I failed to p...

Knew better, did it anyways...
Set the "Fat" aside, for one of my name-brand croaps a couple of days ago.....and really hurt myself. Good blade, Muhle 89 and lathered up good. I have always shaved before showering, but after the shower, I splashed witch hazel and it hurt a bit. Then a bit later, put on the AV Ice Blue a...

Re: A SMF Sort of Thing
Too cool 'fer school!!!!!!! I visit the SMF forum every day and look forward to the new posts. Funny how such tasks, like putting a surgical edge to your face can seem so mundane and task-like to some, becomes a baseline for a lasting friendship. Thanks for sharing. Mike
