Taylor's Victorian Limes #74.

World class. Best, John.

Schick Injector/Merkur LH-DE Classic. Best, John.

Bravo,. Proraso! Good stuff: red, green, tub, tube, Pre/Post. Best, John.

Short strokes combined with the aforementioned light touch. Gentle and easy. Best, John.

PETE: That is awfully cheap. Sounds like alot of blades for me, though. I'll think on it. Best, John.

Sam: All the lawyers I know have new Porsches, or is it Lexi? Best, John.

Pete: I might be interested in some packs. What do you want for them? Best, John.

Marshall: I got a Futur, set it at 1 (or maybe up to 1.5), and have never changed the setting. The Futur is resting in the shave cabinet now; it's big, heavy and bulky. Keep the setting low to start and respect the weight of the razor. Hope you like it better than I did mine. Best, John.

Dan: Just apply a fairly liberal quantity to your face with your hands/fingers (after hot water, shower, or whatever else you do - Pacific Shave Oil would be good for you before applying your cream/soap) and then, very gently and N-S only, shave. GO EASY; slowly. Think comfort first; the Noxema skin...

Dan: Tub of what? If it's Proraso Shave soap, you will need to lather it up with your brush. If it's Proraso pre/post (which I recommend you try based on the troubles you've been having), then just apply it to your face like a cream both before your lather and after you shave. Best, John.

Pete: Are those the ones that come five (5) cartridges to a plastic container? Best, John.

Thanks, Johnnie. I'm ready to do more of both. I'm envious of your 7; won't happen to me in this lifetime! Best, John.

I'll be right over for a drink, Scotto. I'm with you on the Laphroig. Cheers, J.

Probably 30 and not happy about it. Don't play enough. Best, John.

SWMBO knows better than to pay any attention or to comment. She does enjoy critiquing my various colognes, but ONLY when invited and then just for fun. I also give her an occasional sample of something that is clearly too femme for me. Best, John.

Marshall: They'll do some engraved business cards for you, if you're ready. Makes a GREAT impression on real heavy card stock. Best, John.

Scotto: Ditto Richard's recs and add Number 6 at the C-M sale. Best, John.

Chris: Bravo! Best, John.

Marshall: Go to the Crane's store at Tyson's Galleria (aka/Tysons II). They've got everything you need, including beautiful engraving. Best, John.

Scotto: I really like Number 6, one of their classics, and Jockey Club, also a classic. There are, of course, other favs, but I don't want to confuse you. Best, John.
