I do a pass with and then one against. (re-lather for each pass of course)

My face is like a baby's bottom.


TO the electric recommendation...I've had 2 of them...feel like sandpaper afterward. I've never had a good shave from an electric.


Oh...paper cuts...yeah, I get a lot of them as an accountant. Hate them.

But, the real pain comes when you get a cleaning chemical in a paper cut. You could not even know you had a cut until you get the wrong chemical in it...then it opens up like a taco shell and turns red as it burns like Mount Wannahockaloogie erupting.

What are you using exactly? Give us the hook up

Up until a few years back I had several razors like that and use them with the shaving soap. Some how when we moved I never found them when unpacking. After reading this its reminded me to check those 3 to 4 boxes we never unpacked because your right they do give a better shave.
