I have been watching all the specials about the moon landing and events leading up to it this week. I watched the space program ever since it started back in 1958. I remember driving down to Clear Lake, TX, where the astronauts lived when I was taking drivers ed in the summer of 1963. In 1970, when I was driving for Houston Shell and Concrete, I poured concrete for a pad at NASA Space Center. I decided that next week, I will use my Gillette Techmatic. That was the razor used in space at one time. I did not have fond memories of that razor, probably because I had poor technique in the 60s. However, a few months back, I revisited it and found it to shave just fine. So, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, I will be breaking out my Gillette Techmatic. It is a SE razor after all. airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/razor-and-shaving-cream-apollo-11This shaving equipment was carried aboard the Apollo 11 mission by astronaut Michael Collins as part of his personal preference kit. Both pieces were readily available in drugstores.

jayaruh Very hip, very hip indeed...I remember when Shepard first went into Outer Space. I guess all kids at the time were into it. I was in DC, so our Primary school class went to NASA to see the capsule...Now when I see it...it's even more incredible...that thing was like a big dog food can!! Whew! Those cats were unbelievably fearless.

I'm a little young, 53, to remember much of it, but I watched most of the specials. They were good.

Menthol Monday's Shave Lunar Space Landing Week
Cold Water Rinse Kiss My Face Cool Mint Moisture Shave Cream The Brush by Tom Gillette Techmatic Techmatic Adjustable CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Kiss My Face Cool Mint Moisture Shave Cream face lathered well with The Brush by Tom. I did two passes with the Gillette Techmatic razor with a Techmatic Adjustable razor band and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
