    Hello TSD - my Friday shave with the brand new brush made by our very own @Jayaruh
    IMG_0162.JPG

    - Jeeves of Hudson Street "Conservatory"
    - Jayaruh #58
    - T.W. Lang "The Gaelic"
    - Tüff herb Aftershave

    This brush is a winner :happy088: I love the handle shape and weight - nice work Jim. And the Maggard synthetic knot is fantastic. I bought a Plisson Synthetic about a year ago and sold it just a few weeks later because it was way too floppy for my taste. But this Plisson-type knot is quite a different beast: much more backbone but still very soft - it feels much more substantial. And it's a lather monster. It whipped up the Jeeves soap with ease ... I think it is a even better performer than the Mühle STF - and that thing is pretty good ;)

    The "Gaelic" is one of the two straights that have been honed - and it performs much better now. The shave itself was nice and accident-free: two passes, WTG and XTG, with a result pretty close to DFS. I think the most difficult area for me is the jawline - that's where I still feel some rough spots. I guess I'll have to work on my skin-stretching technique here.

    Same darn mediocre shave. :angry019:
    Better water ratio.
    Still not slick. What's up with this soap???
    The Milord Tech is an aggressive SOB.
    Light, light touch. Forwent the ATG pass (self-preservation)
    Tossed the Polsilver SI.
    New blade domani.
    If this keeps up, I may go purchase a can of Edge...
    I really hope you all have a better day!    ​

    Looks much better above you now Primo, may i suggest the Nivea shave cream tube? Members say it's great and you can get it locally, it lathers very well from what i understand. :)

    I'm thinking that that English Leather cap might make a nice brush handle. Maybe it is too big. Maybe not?
