Shaving notes of the MaineYooper

  It's a fine crew to shave with, but the regimen chafes at times.

You are better than me Mike as I can do a focus of sorts but not the complete regimen or even close 

That's kind you Dave, but I see it as "more in need of structure" than you.  The shavette focus is a big stretch for me, and self-preservation dictates the regimen.  I allowed myself to stray from the plan over the weekend, as some folks do, but only slightly in my case.  Specifically, I switched from the birchwood DX to the Sextoblade on Saturday.  It got to be a bit nerve-wracking.  The more exposed blade was not the problem at all.  In fact, I liked it.  The problem was that I had gotten used to the greater weight and rock-solid, firm scales of the DX.  Most of us can most often switch back and forth among safety razors without batting an eyelash, but fewer, I think, can do that with shavettes & straights.  In any case, without the fear factor I can, to quote the song, be as restless as a willow in a windstorm.

Guessing maybe you guys have not watched “The Matrix”.

Not in many years. I always confuse the pills.

Lol, I don't think you are in a profession where you should ever make that statement Eric.

You got me there!  

Some of the guys I work with would love to get the “wrong” pills

This is what happens when you post about maybe needing to try a NEW long comb!


Many thanks to mrdoug for gifting me this razor, as well as some Iridium Super blades. 

I look forward to trying it out soon!
