Two fantastic looking razors, Evan. What do you think of the Blue soap? Do you have any of the other 3 as well? Thoughts on them?
The V1 sounds fantastic, Terry. I like the V2, but do wish for a little more weight in the head.
How did I know you'd match that Heritage with a Brut bottle...awesome.
Interesting that you shave pre-shower, Jim. When do you apply the splash? After the shower? If so, does your face feel raw in the shower?
Others on here have many more Badger brushes than I, Perry, but from the perspective of someone who does put together a fair number of knots and handles, I feel that the depth is really important with badgers. Just a few millimetres can make a big difference in splay and face feel, especially with a scritchier knot to begin with. I have adjusted the depth of a few of mine with noticeable results. If Jim set your knot with epoxy, well then that is that. The knot will loosen up a bit, and Clint's advice of splaying it forcefully a time or two is sound advice.
Great pic and effect, Jim! Welcome back!
What happened to your Astros last night with Cole on the hill?
 
Sounds like a great shave, Clint. That bowl is starting to develop a really nice patina already. Beautiful.
Sounds like huge improvements with the razor already, Danny. Knew it would happen. 39 degrees? It was just above freezing here this morning as well. High of 52F today. About usual for the Canadian Rockies nearing the end of October. Local golf courses closed this past weekend.
Enjoy your 30day focus, Joe!
What a great razor, Gary. The US Goodwill with a similar (same?) baseplate is a favourite. Is that French one a little different?
The only thing that will be in the 80s here this weekend is my music...
 
Entertaining post as always, Joseph. Can't agree more about the prep. That's when I start to shut the world out...
