    Sunday Shave: This big Herr Razor always makes me smile. There was talk earlier about CF Lime so I decided to use mine today. I love the performance and the scent. CF is truly tied for the top spot in my den. I added 4 drops of M-bomb because I am using this HUGE Simpson Polo 12 and there would be whole lot a lather. An epic shave.

    It does. I use it to show you do not need a super duper expensive dense brush to get great lather.

    Well, that does it! I MUST get more watches to color coordinate with my shave gear.

    Epic all the way around, Keith! :git:

    True. I get a great lather as long as (1) my soap cost more than $50 and was made in a small cottage a few km outside London, (2) it has been bloomed for 24-48 hours, (3) and the brush costs north of $200 using hair from free-range badgers. Of course, five passes with the adjustable helps...using settings 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1 on subsequent passes. And witch hazel only for the final pass.

    :lam::prrr:. You forgot about flipping the shimmed blade and bowl lathering with cold water. Also using paint brush strokes so your brush does not tangle.
