Does B&B Membership enhance illiteracy?

It must be the ambience of the BOSC.Pushing your own buttons now?
I know I do.
I think you should wear the SWB badge (a lot of people are just too proud to), but each shave is a positive learning experience (albeit not always the most positive "physical" experience).

Wrong!This badge?
Right?
And if you shave daily, making sure you get at least seven "great" shaves out of your blades; less and your technique needs improving, more and your technique IS improving.
I thought I had coarse stubble, but I'm starting to wonder about yours lol.
Wrong!
Would you let a madman with a machete cut you to ribbons? I doubt it if you could possibly help it.
What do you do when the madman's you and the machete is the even sharper razor blade you're wielding? You treat it with great respect "at all times." None of this "I'm getting pretty good at this now, I don't really need to think about it any more" nonsense (pride before a fall and all that).
Continual (but easy) attention (awareness) to what you're doing (on your technique improvement journey) is what's needed. And if you shave daily, making sure you get at least seven "great" shaves out of your blades; less and your technique needs improving, more and your technique IS improving. Let the blade be one of your technique checkers. Most blades give up quickly due to poor lather, poor blade to skin/whisker angle, and incorrect pressure (other things too, but these are the main three).
Respect the blade, they respond very well to respect.
SUGGESTION:
Stop confusing your senses with endless hardware and software changes. Do a "Fixed 4" month (with your four current favorites). That's the same razor, blade (change as required but same make and model), brush, and soap for a month. If the month's a great success, do the same again but change only one of your four items (and that small change might shock you). Put all your current unused goodies in a safe place and tell them that you're going on a training course especially for them, and their next use will be with increased love, respect, skill and finesse. They love stories like that, especially when you REALLY MEAN IT.
Hello Jim, I was thinking about some of the old timers that have mentioned what they are after in a shave, some just want a DFS and couldn't give a dam about BBS but if they get one great. They want a shave that is presentable for the day and easy on the skin and looks good. I look back at some of the hack jobs that I did with the cartridges and no one seem to notice , they could have a valid point of view. BBS is nice but to me it starting to lose its final destination goal ( I have had lots of BBS and DFS). I really still enjoy DE shaving and like reading these threads and its just part of the quest of wet shaving IMO- I will take a DFS over a lot of nicks any day.
Yes it makes sense to me, you are so close to your goal IMO because you are so determined (with a smidgen of BOSC does help). Yup we are having some fun for sure on B&B and there are some interesting topics from pictures of the day to making coffee to the latest razor to hit the market} threads.(Just down right interesting place to visit!) Have a good Thanksgiving weekend and I bet you will be watching a little football.I hope that makes some sense to you.
Happy Thanksgiving,
the latest razor to hit the market threads, and I bet you will be watching a little football.
