I skipped the hot towel for the first time in about two weeks and could tell a difference on my neck and chin right after the ATG pass. The Derby blade makes a big difference over all but I think the hot towel makes the difference for trouble spots. I'll find out for sure tomorrow AM.

Result: 4.6/5.0 Doing more ATG with the Feather. Also, I used the Feather to shave my armpits. Wow! that worked well. Scary as hell but it cleared out the hair in a hurry and didn't clog anything. I just wiped down the blade after each swipe. I'll be doing that again. Much easier than using a DE or disposable. No irritation.

Someone asked me why I shave my pits. :D

As far as the pit shaving, it was a practice I started with working at Wonderbread. With all the sweating and yeast based products, shaving the underarms was a must or I would end up with skin infections. With riding horses, sweating a lot and a high bacteria environment, it just makes sense to keep doing it.

Result: 4.6/5.0 Lovely shave with some great products. It was an Ogallala Bay Rum Day. I experimented with my new AT&T 8525 Cell Phone/PDA's camera and took a picture. Not the best in the word but not too shabby either. The Ogallala products are sme of my favorite when it comes to Bay Rum. You can't beat the scent. The cologne and aftershave will last me a long time during the day. The new foruma soap has improved dramatically. Lot's of lather and fade time is much much better. If you want even better results, squirt some of the Kiss My Face Unscented cream into the bowl and watch the explosion.

So far, the Pandas have worked well with the Progress and the Slant Bar Razors. You'll notice I didn't use talc today or a cologne. I might use some later in the day.

He was using Derby last week ;)


Different than a .......I believe


That's it! ;) Not only was I having trouble shaving, I couldn't spell either.

Nothing changed from last week except for the quality of shave. I don't have any idea why. I haven't shaved in about 3-4 days to let things heal up and probably won't shave again until tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can get back in that grove I was in.

*This razor belonged to my maternal grandfather who passed away in 1970 at the age of 80. Those are his initials scratched into the scales. It has a lot of hone marks, but shaves great. Probably the smoothest edge I have.
