Any insight regarding that synthetic cream white knot mentioned above? I sincerely appreciate your insight and, no doubt, will come back with...
My regular brush knot is a 25mm Boss knot (mostly face lather these days) so I'm not necessarily looking for more of the same. My impression has...
I hope to soon get around to getting a vintage Everready synthetic brush refurbished and would like to replace it with something that looks like...
Bama Samurai, you raise some good points, however I'm not so sure I fully agree. There is a distinction to be made between mastering a tool and...
Bar soap was all I used before I returned to DE, brush and puck shaving at the sink. It worked just fine.
I should have said that I really don't consciously ride anything. But the bar rides closer to my skin than does the cap. I'm more likely to lever...

All to often seen: We are "open"
Perhaps apropos regarding a blade getting sharper. I recently stumbled across a bar graph that showed the sharpness of various blades. I recorded...
