That's it! Let me know and I hope to see a bunch of responses, after which I will compile and publish the results in an easy to read way! Should be interesting.

1. I generally do prefer to use a shave cream

2. It was sixty years about ten days ago **

3. I generally do face lather more often.

Regarding the ** on the 60 years: I continued to use a DE with traditional software on Sundays, through my period of walking the path of unrighteousness (using Edge Gel five days a week and shaving in a huge rush).
