Quest for less technology

I have packed up most of my stuff for the trip and the last of my shaving stuff will be packed tonight. My razor will get a good clean and tomorrow morning we will be off to Florida for the great big blue. You will not see much of me during our time on the cruise. I usually opt for not purchasing internet access on purpose. It is a great way to disconnect and relax. That is actually one of the things I enjoy the most. I will fill you all in once I get back...

Have a safe and enjoyable time.

Enjoy the cruise. Last time you went on a vacation someone started to shave with a straight razor. Wonder what’s going to happen this time???

I wrote a scrip in cursive today at work. I was promptly told it was horrible handwriting. Back to the drawing boards. Haha.

As long as no one reverts back to cartridges we are good.

Time for cranky letters to the government and media outlets.

You could write your shave journal entries by hand and then let your phone scan in the text to post it on B&B.

Hmm...true. That's actually an interesting idea. I already do my home journal, which will remain separate, but combining my online journal with pics etc could be fun. Thanx

Yep I agree 100%. Jumping around too much is very challenging. I will use the KCG this week and it will travel with me. I find this especially true for those razors who are on the milder side. They seem to take more skill and take longer to get great shaves from.

I think there is some truth to this. I had been jumping around from razor to razor during the week.

While that was fine and good, it doesn't really allow the time to allow one to get accustomed to a particular razor.

Lately, I have gone back to using the KCG razor for consistency. It allows me to concentrate more on the blade and less on the razor. Now, I am not particularly even thinking about the razor itself.

Sure, it doesn't shave like my R41 head or my Rocca R94, but it does give me a smooth, consistent and worry free shave.

It takes me about three shaves to adjust to a razor change.

Have a great time. The colors of the Caribbean seas are something else. Lovely.

Is your present a surprise retirement to one of the condos on that island?
