    Hello! Welcome!

    Lather it with any soap and let the soap dry overnight on the bristles.

    A lady friend at the gym said she just got called for jury duty at the Federal Court in Boston-ON CALL for 3 weeks. She hopes the shutdown DOES last longer :).

    Great shave, Charlie!

    Wonderful photo and setup, Clint! Happy Friday. We went to a brewery that has excellent food as well. Kid friendly place. Had a great time! Cheers.

    So, more stellar results today with the Slim. Chiseled Face Santa Paula always reminds me of my childhood, climbing in the orange tree in the backyard. Followed up with another day with CL YRP. Man It smells good!

    The stink issue is the body oil of a mature hog. Try and use a simple soap like ivory or similar, or a surfactant/detergent like liquid dish or laundry soap.

    It's hard to remove oil with oil. You need simple soap to chemically destroy the oil so it might be rinsed away. Stripping the bristles of oil will also encourage split ends, which is where the awesome starts on boar brushes.

    Cartel VP of Engineering Charlie "Danger" @wristwatchb can probably be goaded into a dissertation by this post.

    Chris, It may be to early to bring the "Cartel" into Rob's world. Remember he has one wet shave under his belt.

    We're not messing around in 2019. Can't let him fall into a never ending loop of newbie shaving mediocrity. He walked into the Jedi meeting and started asking questions. You know how that works around here, two things;

    A) Reasoned, seasoned advice on how to do all this
    B) Stuff you should never read aloud in a psychiatrist office

    Chris, I am sorry for questioning the sharp laser like focus of the Bama Samurai. As usual you are correct. :happy088:

    I grew up in the Huntsville area, though TX born.

    That makes me incorrigible.

    If Cartel is a soap that removes boar stank I'll order it this minute. Otherwise I have no idea
