BBS today, baby!

BBS today! Still some patches on the neck - I need to get better on the ATG angle with the progress when shaving the neck. My sampler pack arrives today or tomorrow. I think I'm going to try the Derby first. Then Ill be getting a Gilette Slim sometime next week. Anything I should take into considera...

No cuts today. Did two passes with the 5/8 Kropp and then finished ATG with my Merkur progress (not yet comfortable with going ATG with the straight). I noticed my angle and technique was better with the Merkur after using the straight - weird. Got the best shave I've had in a long time with the com...

Look at it this way -

He's the only pitcher in baseball history to get 28 outs in a single 9 inning game. He actually pitched better than a perfect game!

that's my viewpoint. It's a shame and it's tough - but that's baseball.

Hell yes! I tried a new angle today and sliced my neck

Wasn't anything my styptic pen couldn't handle.

I still feel like a badass

Todays shave can be described in two words....

Baseball is by far my favorite sport. Since I was a kid. The emotional roller-coaster of baseball season is not something I take very well. Especially since I have a love/hate relationship with the San Francisco Giants who, for the past decade, gets my hopes up and then drops me hard. But I guess wi...

Wouldn't a similar store in San Francisco be awesome!!!?

Not a big merku blade fan, though I've not tried others yet. I am excited to get the sampler pack. I do want to try the feathers because I have heard they are very sharp and I have the idea that would be good for my extremely coars and thick facial hair. I am also buying a Gilette slim and am excite...

I got my razor last night and used it today. I did one WTG pass with it, on the neck as well. Didn't nick myself. Didn't shave too well - about half way through my pass I found the "sweet spot" in terms of the blade angle. Finished up with my Merkur DE razor which I've been using for a whi...

Im currently using the merkur plats - my sampler pack from westcoastshaving should arrive soon though!! For now I'm learning my technique with Williams mug soap and merkur blades, so that when I start trying different things I'll know my technique is ok. I guess you could say the Williams and the me...

I'm using the progress adjustable.

The acting and music in that one are vastly superior to the Johnny Depp movie by the way.

don't even mention that opprobrium! What a way to ruin a masterpiece of musical theatre.

Let's support the web sites that have supported us and our needs..... I don't think anyone frequenting these forums is the real target public of such a store. Of course we will continue to support our beloved dealers. But like I know better than to buy a diamond at any chain jewelry store - there a...
