My youngest son of 3 signed with the Phillies.... a very stressful week. He has been through a lot: 3 arm surgeries including Tommy John, ripped oblique, shoulder impingements, tender hip. He went 14-3, ERA 2.3, 153 KOs, WHIP 1.11, 35 walks, 138 innings for his career at Oklahoma State University - with 2 big 12 titles, made the NCAA tourney all 4 years. He was old [24.5] for the draft per his injury riddled first 2 years - and still had 2 years of college eligibility left. Covid hit his 4th year - and he almost signed as an UDFA with the Angels. But he finished school [year 5] and met a great gal. He really enjoyed his last year in Stillwater playing in the new stadium, with coaches Matt & Josh Holliday and Robin Ventura. Met President Bush pre-game last spring. Tom Holliday was instrumental in getting him signed. BTW, I am an OU graduate school grad. Orange breaks me out in hives.

Last week's shaves :

Esbjerg Verbena
Fine American Blend
Declaration Grooming 88 Chestnut Street
Antica Barbiera Colla hard puck

Lucky I guess.  It gives me great lather.  Maybe you just need to work harder at learning how to lather stuff?   Hahahahahahaha!  In all truth though it sure would be cool to discover why it won’t perform for you.  Seems like you can make lather off a stone.

I agree I need to keep learning!  Smile

My initial guess is that I didn't use enough product.  I took maybe a peanut to a peanut & a half size dollup and smeared it over my chin and cheeks.  I thought it would be enough but I struggled to get a "good-looking" lather.  Again, it performed fine.  It just didn't turn into a yogurty-like substance

Well why not? Ouroboros is an amazing scent although it might be a bit heavy for these hot days we’ve had.  Look gents, I’m living with a menopausal woman and the room we share is cold enough to hang meat!  I honestly have a wool watch Cap I wear at night to ward off hypothermia so with that in mind, perhaps colder weather scents work well for me.

Count your blessings. The opposite is my definition of hell.
