A little bit later shave for me today (~7am instead of 5:45am). A little insomnia & broken sleep last night. Got the usual amount, just not all at once. Rolled today's shave with the advice from Andrew
@Linuxguile.....put a thick doubled up pony tail holder at the base of the knot/handle. The HC HMW 'gel' tip knot worked
much better today. I believe the tips are starting to break in a little, it didn't 'gel' quite so much and hold all the lather. Overloaded the brush with soap, made a TON of nice floppy slick gleaming lather. Did a little bowl lathering and face lathering, and the knot is still not a favorite....but it's not failing the grade anymore like the first few outings. I'll give it some more break in time, always using a band at the bottom. Thank you for that tip Andrew!
WK lathers a little like Stirling (to me), takes a good beating, good hydration, and just a smidgeon more time, but it's worth it. The fragrant Fougère (sweet side) result made for a nice and smooth 3 pass DFS+ result from the Drew Dick Damascus steel. Followed with a small application of PAA's Star Jelly, then the Wholly Kaw La Fougère Parfaite AS. Smooth and smelling fine.
Today's one of those days....started off not really wanting to do much....but the shower/shave routine halfway cured that.
Hope everyone has a terrific rest of Thursday!
