-- it was my first time using this razor, the first time using a non-injector SE, and the second time using an SE period. New soap -- Men's Soap Company "Rockies Sandalwood" -- I won this on the recent B&B auction -- I'll be doing a thorough review after a few more uses. And a new brush -- The Maggard's 18mm Synthetic Travel Brush (this will also get a review). The shave was excellent!!! BBS with 3 passes with only 2 phantom bleeders (they were there briefly, but then vanished). OC's are awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed OCtober....thanks to everyone for sharing their shaves!
No need to apologize, thanks for all the work you've done on this in the past. The stats are fun to look at, but there also something to be said for the more relaxed come as you are say as long as you want type of party. I think the thread went over very well, and had a lot of fun!
Well said. I second the motion!
Hear, hear!
I couldn't agree more!!!
Hi,
Here is to hoping what I said wasn't seen as a complaint. Far from it! I am glad you had higher priorities.
I was just saying that I was keeping it simple in case you were trying to keep score.
Tons of fun as always, and I am already looking forward to next OCtober.

My 2 cents on the subject. I do enjoy the stats and will gladly read them, comment on them, and cheer for my favorites. But on the other hand I remember my first OCtober I joined late, and didn't even realize there were stats. Then when the next round of stats came up I noticed you had to edit the spreadsheet for me (and a few others), then the next time I realized you were tracking head shaves and face shaves separately and I wasn't noting which I was doing on what day, so more editing for you to do. It made me realize how much work this could be for you, so I started trying to list my razor and what I was shaving at the beginning of the post to try to make it easier. But I also know not everyone is doing that some some post you have to read trough a few paragraphs to see what guys are using and a few don't even state what the razor is just post a pic, so now you have to figure out what the used. With a thread that moves 40 or so post a a day this can get out of hand very fast. I'm fine with or without stats, but I think if we do have stats we should should do a little more formal of a format for posting to make tings easier for the stat keeper. But I do feel the less formal option would be more inviting for people joining late. I don't think it would be too bad though we would just have to keep politely reminding guys to list there razor clearly and first in there post. Most of all I wouldn't want to lose the pics though I think they're some of the most fun of the thread. Just my thoughts, I would like to hear from other too.
