    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    It's absurd actually. The parts that don't swirl have hair growing up towards my chin halfway up my neck and then down from my chin to the middle of my neck. It's a mess. Hot hot water, conditioner, nothing solves it. You are right though, super washing my electric or just using a new cartridge always help more than anything.

    Main reason I went to electric. I can at least get a few passes and get it even.

    I literally have a swirl pattern on my neck. The wife calls it the hurricane as it looks like a hurricane on the news. Really pronounced on the each side of my neck. It's ridiculous.

    I wouldn't even think about it if my neck didn't get some irritated after I shave. It's just more shit to spend money on. My electric is nice to have but even that bugs my skin if I really go over my face to get super smooth.

    The argument for a straight razor is that it has no guiding edge, so you can effectively have your face as perfectly prepped as can be. The safety razor has a "comb" that leases the razor. It's supposed to help prep the skin, but technically it's going to remove some of the lather before the razor gets there. This is another part that made sense too. #4 Traditional razors are heavy for a reason. The weight with a really sharp blade is all you need for pressure. Pushing on your face with a cartridge razor to get close just means more irritating drag as the other blades follow the first cut. One guy mentioned that the cartridge blade has one benefit, swivel heads and making it pretty hard to cut yourself.

    Here is what I found that doesn't sound like fluff and is different than modern shaving. I'll skip the pre and post shave info as it is really skin specific and I am still reading. It wet shaving cannot be done with a multi blade razor effectively according to what I am finding. #1 Using a shaving brush with shave soap or cream is the biggest step one. The bristles on a brush exfoliate your skin, lift debris and dead skin along with the hairs. Using your hands mats the hair down. Even if you use an oil or preshave ointment the brush and foam you make with the brush and not from a can work to get the hair read and keeps it moist for the cut. #2 One blade means that you can always have your face "wet". The closeness of the blades on those multi blade units means the first blade cuts and removes any lubricant and the rest of the blades just drag on dry skin. So the first blade cuts hair. The rest just scrape skin and collect gunk. #3 You can clean a straight razor and a double edge safety. And safety blades are $1 a pop for then vs up to $5 for mach 3 and such. Maybe more. So it is more cost effective to replace your safety every shave than your multi blade 2 times a week. So either way it's cheeper and cleaner. Cleaner means less bacteria on your face.

    If I use something like a mach 3 and go in several directions, I have unacceptable stubble in 1-1.5 days. This all started when I was looking for an after, or preshave oil or balsm that would keep my face feeling better. I have a postshave balsm but it doesn't do shit for the electric razor burn. Having to wear a tie everyday isn't helping. I get to choose to be clean shaven or have a red irritated neck and face. My general inflammation disorder doesn't help I'm sure. Anyway, when looking into a face remedy I came across this engineer type dude who made a good argument that multiple blades make for a worse shave and cartridge blades are not only crap quality but full of bacteria etcetc. So one edge is preferable, and ideally it souldnt have a guard as the guard itself can mat down the hair. So even a well designed safety razor with a new blade will still cause more irritation than a straight blade. I'm overthinking shit. Just curious if you all had an opinion.

    My boss gets on me about it. He's 90% joking, but when the big boss is in town they want us baby smooth. Some guys wear a beard but you can really tell he doesn't like it. Even if the guy looks much better with a beard and he trims it meticulously, the higher ups don't like it.

    I know I will never use a Fucking cartridge razor again. Even using a brand new one before an event the other day, I still got some burn.

    Do you guys think that a straight razor would cause less irritation than a regular double edge safety razor? While I love my Braun, it takes longer to get a decent shave with that than it does to lather up. The Braun can be used in the car or at work though. Some days I'm even giving my face a second clean up in the afternoon. Must be all that superman growth hormone, and bull shark testosterone.

    Going to make this Amish chicken recipe. It is one of my absolute favorite foods I have ever ever had. Not so healthy.... But just absurdly good. And it's not that unhealthy. Just extremely calorie dense.

    I like Coltrane. I like Mingus. They feel like polar opposites. I cannot have Mingus in the background, almost like it's an effort to listen to. Contrane is relaxing most of the time.... Sometimes a bit funky though. So..... Mingus is like.....the slipknot of Jazz. That's my deep thought for the evening. Hooray for my one day off before a shitfuck load more work. I might just sleep the entire thing away.
