    Yeah. Scars-of-proof are almost healed.

    On the need to become ambidexterous with using a razor

    On a serious note, it’s important to be able to cut yourself with either hand.

    Any SECRETS you discovered on making a GREAT LATHER

    One I picked up this month is the speed in which you swirl your brush (for bowl lathers) can have a positive or negative effect on how your lather turns out. Too fast and you can end up with a substandard result because of incorporating too much air too quickly. Like everything else in life...

    SV 80th anniversary—pulled the trigger

    I’ve been reading about this stuff for a year and a half, decided to pull the trigger and try it. I like the scent. Not sure it smells like Bleu de Chanel as someone on another thread said. Will give it a try tonight and see about the scent in use, and whether this really is the do all, end all...
