@@JT-nf9tk Thanks Joe. This exercise reminded of the good old days before GSsixgun, DaltonGang, and Steve56 helped take The Shave Den forward…AND protect all the newbies from those like me who believed people should be able do what they want with their own stuff.
@@billm.2677 It's a shame that decent people such as yourself were banned from The Shave Den. Whatever happened to Freedom of Speech? You definitely are missed on the 30DC thread. In any event, I think that events in our lives happen for a reason. Again, have a safe Labor Day my friend.
@@JT-nf9tk I appreciate it Joe. I did kind of get a chance for a ban reversal from PLANofMAN…if I could behave. 🤣 Sorry, but a proper and public apology from the forum owner was called for. I wish I would have taken screen shots of the DM’s from Chris when he was a forum Moderator discussing his opposition to the behind the scenes pressure he was getting to have me banned for posting videos of my honing. Without having chosen a side, he said he viewed my stuff, found NO violation of terms and a sense of a sincerity in my presentations. If he did not oppose my ejection, it would have happened far sooner than it did. Once the Big Bore Earring guy(Jody or something) took over things changed. I’m not sure if he is related to Joanna or what, but she should have made better choices. I have great respect for PLANofMAN for how he ultimately handled that razor sharpening topic amongst his other great contributions over the years, but I don’t see him being able to generate a TSD come back any more than SRP had or B&B will. Kind of foolish for these “for profit” business to so poison their key asset, the interest of participants. Take care Joe. Time to get another vid from the “Teacher on the Big Island”.
@@billm.2677 I definitely understand your position. It was definitely egregious that you were banned. As the current moderator of the 30 DC thread, I would welcome you back with open arms. In the meantime, keep doing what you are doing.
Hi Bill, my regards to the Mrs., she was right, it was high time to trim those whiskers 😅. My personal set-up and only DE, Merkur Futur, with Feather blades on setting #3, that gives almost an acceptable one-pass shave.
@@dnamol My fave DE of all time was a custom machined brass gizmo without guards. Frightening to look at but it shave very well. The retired guy that built this kind of stuff always gave them away to one of those on the pass around tests. I wish I got that one.
Wonderful insights as always Bill , yes Gregg is a hero , a real experimentalist pushing the limits as you do 👏. 30 day challenges are amazing 👏 ... my love for all straight razors stops me from comitting the heresy of double edge shaving 😂. ( although i do like the occasional shavette shave 😊) and agreed, great kudos to Greg . Im sure your right concerning double edge shaving , as weepers seem more common ,than with straight razor's?
@@dr.killjoy29 Thanks for tuning in. IMO, you are having a very common experience. I use all this older stuff mostly for the challenge. At one time, I THOUGHT I had way too large of a DE blade inventory….🤣 🤣 🤣. Can you say New Old Stock?
@@samlincicome4904 Thanks tor tuning in. I have been known to use sarcasm, satire, and wit in some of my presentations. I’m assuming I lost you early rather than later. If there is confusion in your mind, I can attempt to clear things up. Either way, be well.
Great video Bill!
@@greggallant5058 thank you Greg
Like the shave tool comparison Bill. Have a safe Labor Day.

Nice shave sir!
@@Bamaboyshaving Thank you Michael
Bill, I thought I left a comment a couple days ago. I must have been really tired and forgot. Nice shave and convo, my friend.
@@longhaultanker How ya doin Driver! You did send a text. I’m playing catch up on vids. Be safe.

@@Martins-Shaves123 Thanks Martin. No shame to be had at all in choosing to only shave with the open edge. 150 years ago it was the only choice.
@@billm.2677 and still the best choice 😁
Sliding in sideways 1st like The Duke Boys.
@@BigEShaves Big E wins with the first In. 👍 Where the hell is Daisy in this thing? 😎
