  1. Others have advised me in the same way...."like it owes you money". It's about time I did that, eh? :). I don't think I have any boars, but then any one of you could look at my collection and say, "There's one....there's another".

  2. Is the soap just thirsty or is the puck rock hard ?

  5. Well, the fact that it's triple-milled makes it LOOK rock-hard, but I've used it frequently this summer, so it wouldn't appear to be thirsty. It's the same with the Wet Shaving Products soap I have, but Lee(the owner)makes it a point to jam it I right up to the top. WSP one IS thirsty-I need to use it more often this fall and winter.

  9. With my WSP Blackbeard I scoop a bit out with my finger then facelather it. Its very difficult to even load the brush when its flush with the top of the tin.

  11. Interesting-I'll try that. But I'd want to bloom it A BIT first, right? (Mine is the Rustic Mahogony).

  12. My wife and daughters use witch hazel after they remove their makeup. They’ve found it helps keep their skin clear.

    Sept 5th

    Proraso PS Red
    Jason's 2019 30DC LE v2, Omega 10098 knot
    Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood SS
    J3Customs 8/8 Kamisori
    Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood AS

    3 pass DFS+. Landing nick in the nose/lip area, was looking at spine of the razor (angle), blade touched down.....not a distraction from the shave, just a mention. Nice Stirling lather, slick and super aromatic whipped up by Jason's handle with the Omega knot. This knot is slightly floppy compared to my other boars, so I overloaded, then used much more water than thought necessary. Lather was bowl beaten and whipped like a dirty doormat...turned out awesome. The J3Customs Kami, all business, barely audible while doing its job. 1st pass, just a smidgeon edgy, but I'm beginning to notice that with every razor....be it straight or kami. Just my facial hair, and to a lesser degree, skin type I believe. Pass 2 & 3 (or right jawline/neck buffing) was buttery smooth. Followed with the matching AS, little feedback, landing nick sealed. Love this scent! Catch whiffs of it all day long usually. Excellent face feel continues hours after shaving.

    Hope everyone has a Terrific Thursday!
