  10. Let me guess...you took a wrong exit and landed in HR?
    I just give my damp brush a few swirls then lather it on my face . I do that with all soaps.

  12. I also have strops with poly web and I am happy with using them. Poly web has the same use as linen., it is just a matter of personal taste.

    You must be psychic, I am planning a den clearing at the end of the month. It will include a straight or two, DE and brushes.
  13. Thanks Patrick....looking forward to trying it out one day.

  14. TGIF Shave: Decided some bling is order since next week I will be on vacation. I do enjoy shaving with the Ed Brice, it is hard to see but is also has a smile.

    The feeling of the blade on my face is an important guide for me when using an open blade, so I gave up soaps with heavy menthol. Today's shave had just enough 'feel' so I will see if can keep using this soap with my straights.

    Strop: Roo
    Brush: EDBIO Tom White B-400
    Pre: Nivea
    Soap: Stirling
    AS: Lucky Tiger AS, Speick ASB
    Scent: Dior Ambre Nuit

  20. Well, I chose the wrong items for my shave today. With nothing at all against Chiseled Face, it was cool-ish enough today for me to go with Clubman or AgadirMen, or a Stoylin,,. Course it wouldn't have made a "dent" in either, today appeared to ask for one of them. Maybe there will be a chilly day in July(right, snowball's chance in h..l)
