Thanks, Terry! Yeah, that 1912 is a joy to shave with. Very smooth, and very forgiving. I've found the FT to be equally so (and a little easier to maneuver in some of those tight spots). Enjoy your Monday, sir!
Charlie, I did ride the short bus with the "slow" children. What I hear you saying is you really want brush #9 https://getsmart.fandom.com/wiki/Agent_9
Thanks, Joe! I hadn't considered that point. Texas on Fire doesn't seem to irritate my skin any more than any other soap I use, but that does make sense. My face is slightly sensitive to every soap I've ever used--Vanderhagen, Arko, Cella, Palmolive Stick, La Toja, all my Stirling, and even Soap Commander). Each were scented though. I may one day try an unscented soap, but that'll be a sad day... I likes my smells! BTW, I used ToF and Tsuka this morning, and they seem to be playing well together, I'll know for sure by the afternoon. Hopefully all goes well, because I'm starting to really enjoy Tsuka.
I've been looking at that Texas On Fire. Seems to me to be like Agadir(Oud Wood)on steroids(I don't mean that as it being BAD).
Thanks, Jeff! The reaction (thankfully) isn't usually horrible, but it's enough to slightly stain a shave--somewhat akin to a faucet with a slow leak that has been dripping all day; you only notice it on a subconscious level until realization finally breaks through and understand why you've been feeling annoyed much of the day
