A very busy and eventful morning and early afternoon here at the homestead. At least I was able to get a fantastic shave in before the day got up to full speed. I decided to try my hand at loading and face lathering with this TnS gel boar knot. The results were adequate but not nearly as good as scooping out the soap and bowl lathering. Despite enjoying the feel of the brush on the face, I am getting more sure that this knot will be replaced with something else soon. Despite the lathering issues, the shave was fantastic. This razor really works exceptionally well with a steeper shave angle. Three passes and touch ups ended in a wonderful BBS shave. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.

 

Dang, Gary, you have more Techs than there are fish in the sea!

 

I had a feeling that knot’s days were numbered based on your continuing dissatisfaction with it. The handle looks like it might support at least a 24mm knot. Great shave, Clint! Can’t ever beat a BBS!

 

awesome shave and pic Clint..

 

Paul, it can definitely be used year around! It’s every menth head’s dream splash. Unscented, so it can support any scent you desire.

 

i have tried you get one for each era they were made including the odd ones.there are 2 i haven't got yet,the u.s "S" stamped service tech and the u.s bakelite handled one..one day..

 

Excellent shave and gear Clint. It seems you gave it your best shot with the knot. It's a shame that it isn't working out for you.

 

Excellent Jim. Stay cool.

 

Awesome shave and razor Keith.

 

Excellent shave and picture, Clint!
So, is there a new addition to the family?

Thanks, Joe!

Good for you Jeff. I guess some are not in mind of your views. I get great shaves for a variety of razors. For me, it comes down to technique, feel at the moment and concentration. With any given blade, DE, AC, or SE (Gem) if I waver in any of the aforementioned variables then the closeness and comfortability is impacted.

 

Smelling good today!

 

Thank you Jeff. The handle will support a 28mm knot so I need to decide what I will do in the future.

 

Thank you Joe. I tried but I am over fighting with the knot. I will get a replacement after I decide which knot I want.

 

Thank you Jim. We did add a member to the family.





I thought we were getting a dog instead of a small horse. His racing name was Pat C Blitz. Maya decided on Cody.
