I got hooked on the safety razor approach in the military. The blades cleaned camo off the face nicely and I could remove the blade and wipe it clean. Can't do that with modern multi-blade gizmos. No need for camo on my face anymore, but I still like the shave.

I agree that you don't need fancy new razors, but the preshave oil and soap combination were amazing. I'm italian so I have rough facial hair, but I'm also irish so I have sensitive skin and it was the smoothest my face ever felt without any irritation. But I do agree how expensive it is (around $100/mo) and I couldn't deal with that. But it was nice since I got their weekly starter kit for free as a promotion for a new store that opened.

It's not bad to brave it every now and then as long as you are safe and confident you can make it in. Your work will now think of you as a better employee who they can rely on and it could really help you out in the long run :D

Stay safe though Justin!!!

Well, I just read the new Army promotion policy. I don't think I have a chance of making it to SSG before I get out. Oh well...

Thanks augi. I have always liked the dark chrome look. I am pretty sure that they carry the look in a can.

Thanks everyone for all your contributions.
Peace/Happiness to all reading my words from `Space : )

MillerMonteSS 02-21-2011 12:24 PM

Thanks 'Space. I am a Sergeant (E-5). A re-enlistment would only give me the additional time to promote. It wouldn't help me directly. When I get out; I will probably do the same thing that I do now. I don't mind the Corrections aspect of my job, but I truly enjoy the Law Enforcement side of it.
