    Another great looking brush Robert. Zenith really makes some very nice brushes.

    That used to happen to me when I bloomed it. Sounds like too much water. I start out with a loaded brush and drizzle in a little water if it’s too thick a lather.

    It looks like less is more with Mitchell's. I did a test lather with a dry brush, dry puck with about a teaspoon of water on it. Loaded for 10 seconds only. Lathered, added water, lathered, added water, and on and on until I got a bowl full of this:

    It's been sitting on my desk for 20 minutes and hasn't really disappeared. Rubbed some between my hands and it was pretty slick and made my hands feel like I had just put some lotion on.

    That looks good. The post shave feel from Mitchell's is excellent.

    That's a very impressive amount of lather for a 10 second load.
    Sitting on your desk? Are you at work? That's the kind of job I want!

    Feb. 26th. Fatboy 30DC

    Budget Setup:

    Razor: Fatboy
    Soap: Proraso White
    Blade: Feather
    Brush: Perfecto Pure Badger
    Post Shave: Witch Hazel and Equate lotion

    What a difference a month makes. Today's shave was a comfortable 2 pass DFS. However, I got bit along the jawline once because I was paying attention to something else. Guess that's the penalty for shaving while distracted.

    Using the same setup for a month has proven to be a test in patience. One shave left for me in this challenge. Not a true 30DC, but I can't wait to break into some Stirling samples I ordered at the beginning of the month. It will be my first time using Stirling soaps.

    Thank you, Perry. I'll do it again in a couple of days for another test shave.
    Thank you, Jim!

    Your in for a treat with the Stirling soap. Keep giving it water until it has a high gloss sheen! Congrats on completing your first rule!
