    If you are a fan of commercial soaps, give Tabac a try sometime. Proraso is a great soap as well, Tabac is just another great commercial option. Most folks that like Proraso like Tabac and vice versa.

    Just don’t have the time to fool with it. If I’m ever lucky enough to retire I might fool with it on a real small scale.

    Just tried a Merkur Futur.  A few nicks but otherwise much much nicer than the Mach whatever.  Closer than the electric and Mach.  So many options on the creams and things.

    Until you get use to it set it on its lowest setting and work your way up in time. The Futur is one of the best adjustables on the market.

    I have a face beard. Still shaving my neck and cheeks. Gonna keep up with this until my next face to face customer meeting. At this rate, I won't have to clean up right until August 2nd. It is a freeing experience, I recommend y'all give it a go.

    Some people don’t like it due to its size and weight. It’s a large and heavy razor. But this is a good thing if you have big hands and a broad face.

    Somewhere on the internet there is a shaving forum where half the members are sick of meat pics and the other half are ordering smokers.

    I have to agree. I would be furious if someone ruined a great shaving post with food pics  =)
