Beardo,
I got faith you'll put that guy to shame when the time comes for you to claim the beard championship!
An..he did win such. Saw something on beards earlier today an then this thread...it was meant to be.

I find that a very clean face helps a lot. I am going to buy a mug and brush as soon as I see one in a store. Long ago I used the mug and brush and it worked great for me. MikeOriginally Posted by afmedic279

Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
Do you let it stay in the alcohol or just dunk it and let it air dry? Mike

Let it soak about 30 sec. and then air dry. Got the idea from Clark Howard and his money saving tips.
To cheap to buy shaving cream, when the shave is needed it is done in the shower with soap. Spent an entire professional career clean shaven using disposables and soap. Now I can shave the head the same way and grow the beard for warmth. Amazing how nature works.
I started using a safety razor because I got feed up with the cost. Like other new safety razor users, I use left over shaving cream.(from when I used a Mac 3)
I have read about the soaps and badger brush but have not made the purchase yet. I nick myself every time I shave ( my current weight loss program)

I was once told that a wet razor was the major contributing factor to them going dull. So when I was in the army I used the cheap disposable ones and soap. I did my best to dry them when I was done and it made a major difference in the life span. I think the soaking the razor in alcohol, not only cleans the razor but pulls the water off and then evaporates quickly while drying. All this talk about shaving almost has me wanting to shave, almost.
Maybe my back

Beardo, you might be the mountain man of the bunch. A little history lesson: Mountain men use to go to the rendezvous in the spring to sell their furs, get supplies, and a little known fact get cleaned up for the year. They would literally shave off the wool underwear using their knives. They had to have razor sharp knives. Now imagine asking another mountain man to shave off your underwear. Just kidding, they hired Native American females to do this chore. Compliments of Peabody, if you are old enough.I was once told that a wet razor was the major contributing factor to them going dull.

As a scrapman I'd like to tell you I use a die grinder with finishing touches from a plumbers torch but really I have a subscription with Harry's.
