Wow, I'm on page 95!What an honor to have someone wade through all of our posts and adventures. I know when I read back through it, which I do on occasion, I learn things, but it is so great to realize it is actually helping someone else.
To have someone read fifty pages of this thread and then decide to place their first ever post here is quite a gesture. Thanks so much.
The most impressive thing though is the quality of this first post. It is so cool to have someone understand the bottom line of so many things we've struggled with (well, I've struggled with so many things if nobody else has).
I hope the rest of the thread is also helpful and beneficial and interesting.
Happy shaves,
Jim
Jim, going back and reading this particular section, I realized I am only at the Jr. ВОƧС level. I only have 3 1/2 Fatip's, a Piccolo SE, Mk1, and a Schöne. I just realized I
I haven't bought any razors since I got my SE1, wait, I did get another New SC, to replace the one I gave to a co-worker. I should have kept the first NSC, it was given to me by a fellow B&B'er and had the desirable SC cap, but I hadn't picked it up once I got my Piccolo, and never thought I would use it again.
Definitely not thinking like a true full fledged member of the BOSC community.
I think, however, I am getting back on track. I am sticking with this Fixed Four, even though I broke a rule. I wasn't familiar with the blade that I chose, and I am paying the price. It might be a great blade in my Piccolo, I haven't tried it in my Piccolo. But my Piccolo isn't part of my Fixed Four, My GC84-P is. As it the SuperMax BD.
I'm over 2/3's of the way through, I'm still learning things. Like how to use a razor for a month with a blade you don't like. It is a popular blade, I'm sure it is a great blade, but it isn't working for me with this razor. But I am committed, I am gonna stick it out. The I am gonna try another blade without changing anything else.....
But I digress, I'm now officially on the hunt for a razor that uses a Gem style blade. I don't really know which one would be a good choice. I have only looked at some pictures. I hadn't thought of using one before. Or an Injector. Now I also want an Injector style razor. And a Grande, with Straight Flutes. I don't need any more Straight razors, I already have 10. That isn't too many SR's I don't believe. I haven't used one of my SR's in a few months, but I am getting one ready............
Just thought I'd let ya know, there really is lots of good information in here!!!
