You won't regret it. I have CH2's in Best, Two-band, and Synthetic, and the Best really is the stand-out of the lot. (Though no surprise there...Simpson Best is one of my favorite hairs...I love me some scrub.) Does that include other almond-scented soaps? The almond scent seems like the thing...

For the Superspeeds, the tip color indicates aggressiveness. Blue tip is milder than normal Superspeeds, and red is more aggresive. Red tips are quite popular, so they might run a little more expensive than your average Superspeed.

Just plain ol' hamburgers and chips tonight...nothing too interesting, save that I usually put some Japanese mayonnaise on mine...much more flavorful than American mayo.

I think most vintage Gillettes are going to be good, depending on what you're going for...maybe avoid the very late ones from the '80s where they're partially plastic, but even those have their fans. I'm a huge fan of my Gillette NEW (a model from the '30s), but I'm a big fan of aggressive...

Simpson's Chubby CH2 in synthetic, newly delivered today from Maggard's Black Friday sale.

Your song is cooking something up! 1. Wok Don't Run ... The Ventures 2. Take It Over Easy ... The Eagles 3. Smells like Bar-B-Q... Nirvana 4. Whipped Cream ... Benny Bell

Interesting notion...come to think of it, I do have a lot of fans, and I almost exclusively face lather. Then again, my favorite brush of all time, a vintage Ever Ready reknotted with TGN finest, is very much a bulb, so YMMV, I guess. Though I think you've really hit the nail on the head with...
