taking pictures of hair brushes is weird,razors are normal..

In my garage right now I have the makings of a forge for tempering steel. Basically just a bag of refractory cement, stuff for making a mold, and a blower. I also have a small stock of O1 tool steel.

I will shave with a blade of my own making at some point. Not sure I will get there by May. However, Danny is a craftsman too. A team effort could be interesting.

For over a year the Variant/Personna Blue Lab combo was the only thing I shaved with (every month is a 30DC month for minimalist). It worked better than my previous razors, so that's all I used, but it still felt tuggy along my goatee area no matter what I did (I swear that area is like copper wire ).

You may have a point, though. Perhaps sticking with a single setting for a couple weeks--really taking a close look--then doing the same thing as I gradually dial up the aggressiveness might prove informative. And I won't have to buy a bunch of new blades...

thank you Evan..i tell my gillettes every day..

i can't fathom many things my wife does..

awesome shave and pic Evan..

Awesome collection, Adam!

Going nuts with razors requires extra care, Charlie. I think that even @Drygulch would agree that there is more potential for harm going nuts with razors than with Osage.

Thank you, Gary!

Please tell Kathy her favorite wingnut says hi!

I sorta figured that @Hembree would have fashioned a straight razor out of bush hog blade by now. That would be Atmore Awesome!

It’ll be fine just put some alum on it.
