My new razor

So update on the new razor. I like it but I have a heavy hand, caught myself pushing on it. It must be how light it is in comparison to what I'm use to. I'll get used to it in time.
As I understand it the longer handle with a ball at the end is supposed to allow you to hold it very far from the head with three fingers and just drag it over the skin. In my personal experience (on my face) this feels so awkward I can't do it. I'll assume it would be easier to do on legs but i really don't know.

I'll say it again, the one you have is fabulous. It looks brand new. I have no doubt you will master it soon.

If you go looking for comments and reviews (or videos) about using the lady gillette you (I) don't find a lot of women telling the story. There are a lot of "my wife uses it and..." I think it would be cool to have a breakdown from a lady who actually uses it. Maybe even an entry in your blog.

That's a great idea Chris, if I ever get the time to do that. It's been crazy busy, I need to clone myself 3 times to catch up I think.
I have the razor down now, I changed to the feather blade and am loving the performance.

Yes you have! I have a shopping list a mile long because of all the new bath soaps you have been posting!
 
Between LNHC bath soaps and Mystic Water bath soaps in comparison I have found that the LNHC ones dont last quite as long as the Mystic Water ones for me but they leave my skin feeling better than the MW ones so LNHC is the one to use for me i could care less about the 10 uses less longevity.

Are you using one of those soap saver bag things? Lisa has them available and they DO extend the life of the softer artisan soaps. I guess it depends on how you use and store your soap anyway.

No i haven't ever used one of those. Have considered getting one but between the two im getting 50 or so uses average and i can live with that.

I've got 2 offthe bay and 2 from Lisa. If you get enough uses you're better off without them. I needed them for honeybee soaps but Lisa's hair bar last just fine for me. I'll probably take it out. Hers has a flat material strap that is hard for my fat fingers to seperate to hang verses the others are a thin rope. If I can find a bath bar that lasts I prefer no sock for it.
