Shaving- another skill

[Streetcar]

...
Streetcar, be forewarned that TAoS is pretty high-priced on most products.

If you're looking for a wide array of shaving soaps (and bath soaps, too), aftershaves and colognes, check out Mama Bear. Sue is good people, her product is top notch and her prices are more than fair. She recently moved to Wisconsin and just got her operation back up and running. If you decide to do any business with her, let her know Mike set you. She'll likely take pity on you for knowing me!

Saying The Art of Shaving is "pretty high-priced" is like saying the Atlantic Ocean is "a bit moist."

Still, there was something about having a slinky young girl lathering up a badger hair brush for me that tends to short circuit my normal reasoning processes.
When I came home (and to my senses) I started looking around for better priced alternatives. Still, the information she gave me was good.

And thanks for the link!

I didn't even realize one could get that done in Bellevue. Maybe I should try and work with my meeting schedule this week.

I did find a place in PDX where one could get a straight razor shave. I want to do it at least once to see what advice I can get before I try this on myself.

Hmm. Slinky young women, sharp razors... Something about that makes me a bit nervous.

While I dont use a straight razor (yet), I recently acquired a Murkur DE and am very pleased with the results. I also LOVE the feeling of rubbing a warm brush full of lather on my face. Its bliss. Now I just need to invest in a better soap. . . .
