Traditional Shaving.

Forget about shaving with a 20 blade cartridge razor that chops your face to bits and sticky canned goo that all cost a fortune in the long run. Forget about electric shaves that leave you with a morning with a 5:00 shadow. Try traditional wet shaving.
Traditional wet shaving is the way great grandpa used to shave. Be a man and grab a brush, shave soap, mug, and a double edge safety razor and enjoy the most comfortable relaxing shave you ever experienced. Say goodbye to razor burn, no more sticky,smelly goo on your face, and no more spending 30 bucks for 8 cartridges. Sure you will spend a little more for the initial set up. But, in the end your face and your wallet will thank you.
First pick your setup. There are tons of razors from all price ranges. You can go with a new single edge, double edge, or straight razor. Or you can opt for buying antique razors from, flea markets, antique shops, yard sells, pawn shops, and eBay.
If you have chosen a DE (double edge safety razor) then order yourself a sample pack of DE blades and find your perfect blade and razor combo. Some blades can still be found at some stores.
Then choose a good brush and mug also in all price ranges. Brushes are made of boar hair badger hair and scythe-tic. There are three types of badger brushes pure, super, and silver tip. Silver tip badger brushes are said to be the best do to the hold they have on water and lather.
Then what are you going to use to replace that canned goo? There are lots of shave soaps on the market some of the lesser grade soaps are still sold in brick and mortar stores while others will have to be ordered.
Then shave cream in tubes and tubs can be a little harder to find in stores but you can find tons online.
Some people like to use a pre shave oil to help the blade guide across the skin. Then use a good aftershave balm or splash.
If you happen to cut yourself they make alum blocks and styptic pencils to stop bleeding and disinfect.
I made the change! Now my shave is closer, my face is smoother, I smell great, and most of all I enjoy shaving a lot. It's more of a hobby then a chore now.
I'm going to be getting on here reviewing some of the shaving products that I experiment with to let you know what I think.

Here is a list of some of the kinds of things mentioned.

Williams Shave Soap can be found at pharmacies and grocery stores.

My pros and cons on the IPhone 4s compared to an Android device.

My pros and cons on the IPhone 4s compared to an Android device.
So, I put down my HTC My Touch 4G with T-Mobile and picked up an IPhone 4s with Verizon Wireless.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t like my iphone. There’s just to many great features I had on my Android OS that the IOS lacks. I did have a lot of issues with my HTC though.
Pros:
Siri though limited is really cool.
Facetime though it only works with wifi works way better than any video chat on any other phone I have seen.
The battery life seems to be a lot better than I am used to seeing.
I like being able to assign contacts own vibration
The signal is a lot better but that because I went from T-Mobile to Verizon
Cons:
No option to share a web links to text via safari.
No option to share link via social networks other then twitter via safari.
No options to share pictures or videos via social networks other then twitter.
Speaker phone is not activated when you lie the phone down.
Doesn’t support 4G although it seems to run faster on 3G then my HTC did on 4G.
It doesn’t have a memory card slot.
There is no keyboard function like swype.
No options to have the keys vibrate while typing.
There’s no turn by turn GPS on maps. Also there’s no Google latitude.
Cannot explore my files.
You cannot sync your contacts with your social networks and email accounts.
The video chat works on wifi only.
There is no camera button on the side.
The internal battery kind of scares me.
The print option only works on printers with airprint. Why not any wifi printer?
There aren’t any toggle apps or widgets for turning on/off the wifi, GOS, Bluetooth, Sync, or turning down the brightness.
I hate having to do everything through ITunes.
There’s no FM radio.
You can’t share your pictures strait from the camera after taking a picture.
