If you use those shaving creams/foams/gels, they also help to erode the

Ivory bar soap applied with a badger brush. Hose out the razor with
the WaterPic afterwards.

As I read these tips I remember a radio jingle for McCulloch chain saws,
about a lumberjack who used one to shave his beard. g

They just don't make jingles like that anymore. It must have been around
1958.


I remember going on trips (sometimes as much as 60 miles, to
Grandpa's) and reading the Burma-Shave jingles, one line on each
signboard.

I still love those things.
