Ken, I'm glad to hear that the stropping made a positive impact on your shave. I picked up a neat little blade stropper the other day that looks like you can load any type of blade into. I need to do some work on cleaning it up. But it sounds like it will make for some fun experimentation.
Fabulous photo Clint, the depth of field is really rather stunning!
Perry, do you typically shave right after a shower ? I find that if I shave after a shower I don't need any other kind of prep. But when I shave at night I use a decent local artisan soap (
Rocky Mountain Soap Market, Available in our Safeway stores) to wash my face with. I leave the soap on my face while I load my brush and whip up my lather in my scuttle. Then I rinse my face off, apply my lather and shave. This is the only way I can shave as comfortably as when I shave right out of the shower. Without this prep I have horroble tugging not matter what gear I'm using.
Fantastic photo Jason, I see you trying to hide the grotesquely ugly Farinik label! Lucky the rest of your beautiful gear distracts the eye! Serriously I don't know what TFS was thinking when they made that label and those of a few others.
John, I decided to scap my trial on shave #2 of the blue blade. So dont feel bad. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the other 39 tucks of them that I have. I guess I will keep experimenting using them in different razors and hopefully I will find one that likes them, and then use them up in a 1 and out manner. I hope your arm continues to get better and that your procedure on Tuesday is completed with the best possible outcome. You and your family are in my prayers.
I love seeing the Stub Tail, Brian. The thought of shaving with a 200 year old razor is just too cool!
Beautiful photo, Mark!
Very nice. Cella is one of those soap that I want to try, but I have sooo many soap and there are sooo many others that I want to try, It's hard to make it a priority.
Awesome setup!
