Shaving discussion random thread

Lathering MWF isn't that hard. Lots of soap and a little water, adding more if you need too works great. Make sure you whip it enough too. MWF thickens up really nicely after about a minute.
 
I had a really nice shave with Williams on my face and a five-day-old Personna Lab blade in my EJ DE89L today. Slick, copious lather, enough for four passes, touch-ups and at least two more passes that were rinsed out of the brush. Once I started following the directions on the box it worked like a Trojan. The directions? Yeah, it says "Mug Soap" on the box so I lathered on the puck and it just burst into foam. Maybe I'll start cussing it with the next puck but this one's just fine.
 
Can you count how many soaps/creams beat the price to performance ratio of Arko? Let's see there's...wait...well...hmm.
 
I always wonder if Hook uses Old Spice? Mr Smee has pretty good technique, only one pass though.

When boars choose a mate, do you think that scritchiness and backbone are factors they consider?

Keeping a log of my thoughts vis a vis various razor blades and how to extend their use has resulted in a great improvement of my technique. I believe I am close to the point where I can get a good shave with a Merkur or a Dorco.

I think one of the biggest factors that gets overlooked is pressure.
