Thanks Joe. I picked that brush up for $8.00 during a Yaqi live sale. I was not to keen on the handle at first but after it got here I really like it. I hope you are enjoying the MOLC.
Thanks much Joe....I'll get to cleaning the thing. As I say, it'll be a while before I use it again. I'm doing the Sheep soap again tomorrow, with a Stoylin brush that has always smelled good.
The MOLC is great. I am keeping myself busy between house work and my developing hobby of straight razor restoration.
Joe. I agree I've deprived the blade being a 10..But i wanted to finish it's service on a high, instead of possibly ripping my ugly mug to pieces!
Been a while since I posted but I'm back to shaving after not shaving (or getting a regular haircut) during the pandemic. Doing 1 razor, 1 blade, 1 brush, 1 soap for March. Timeless SS .95 OC Scallop Cap, Feather SS blade (1 blade for whole month), Paladin Vesuvius brush, MWF. My pandemic beard which is now gone:
Greetings, gents I have been using my Game Changer for a while now, and I haven't done one of these challenges in a long time. But maybe I should, because why not? I will be using these starting today. I shaved maybe an hour or so ago, very comfortable shave without any issues. I think a heavier razor with a decent amount of blade feel has helped with my technique, because it forces me to concentrate. I'll probably shave every other day, to give the brush some time to dry between uses. Have a great day!
This morning's shave had its good and not-so-good moments. I doused my face and neck with a little less water than in previous shaves. Strong loading work with the Sheep-done by the Pro-Handle(both Stoylins). I could see the difference as I painted the soap on. You could see the soap show better than before. Face and sideburns are nice and soft, as a result. Porcupine Alley doesn't feel nioe and soft, but it does in SOME areas. A little better North than South. Jawline is OK. Now for the not-so-good: Cactus Alley(neck)could have been MUCH better. I missed some areas around Ingrown Swamp(my new name for where the Ingrown hairs are), and had a bad cut just above the Swamp. As with yesterday, the Bill Neumann A.S. prevented more damage. The Neumann family should add "Skin Food" to its name, but they do give you the sense that it does just that in its soap and A.S. descriptions. Pretty Excellent again(the cut and astroturf down at Cactus).
Good morning! Shavette Shave #344 Dovo Shavette Feather 1/2 DE Blade (4) Stirling Boar Brush ARKO SS Stirling Coconut Lime AS Maggard's Alum Block Dickinson's Witch Hazel Beard Growth: apptox 37 hrs Got called in to the middle school so I had to do a quick 2 pass shave. Picked Arko because it readily lathers and it's slick. The whole process took me 12 min. Didn't get any cuts or irritation. It was a BBS- shave. Did my usual postshave ritual. Have a great day!
