Boy, that`s some set up...... I like!

Bill

 

I'm still in a state of shock over this new Plissoft brush!

 

I'm so happy you liked it Jeff. I thought you would, it's like lathering your face with a cloud!

 

Like the way you have everything laid out, nice picture too.

I like that click sound on my Gillette Adjustables too. Having said that my chrome Futur has replaced my beloved FB as my go to razor. It is almost cheating how effortlessly I can shave with it. I always dry my hands a little when I shave with any of my razors, to avoid any accidents, but that smooth handle isn't like holding the FB. I do have to be extra careful getting the blade out as it will stick, when wet.

 

Excellent!

I love my vintage razors of course but I to could see this being a new "favorite". I will be adding a new step in my routine of drying my hands when using the Futur.

 

This lay out will probably set the standard for at least the near future. What`s the little white thing with the black dots? Just curious.

Bill

 

Is it ever!

This brush is one hell of a lather-maker. I'm going to email Joseph and Michael right now and tell them what a pleasure this brush, soap, and aftershave are!

 

Beautiful photo, and nice setup

TOBS Sandalwood soap
homemade handle/IB 26mm synthetic "monster?"
I made this handle the night before surgery and put in the IB knot. Plenty of lather with an "old reliable soap" and a nice shave. Have a good one.

Nice layout, that brush handle is absolutely beautiful, not a great Bowie fan.

Yup, another great shave with the Bunny.

I had about 37 hours (but who's counting) of beard ready to work with and the Wild comb didn't feel particularly aggressive or rough. But by the end of the second pass, there wasn't much left. Of course, I went for the third pass anyhow. But this time I did something different. I decided to try switching out the comb and stepped things down to the Mild comb. I ended up with a fantastically close and smooth shave with no drama.

Yes they do. A few months ago my Daughter asked me if I shave because I'm ugly. Nope sweetheart shaving isn't going to fix that....

 

It's something Vegas uses to take my money

 

Not mine!!!
