Checking in ..... Finally

Hello all!
Just now checking in, even though I actually joined a few months ago.
Been kinda busy, there’s some virus going around, anybody hear about it?
So, I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you, happy shaves all!

 

Welcome to The Shave Den! I'm glad you finally decided to jump into the fray.

What's happenin' in your shaving world?

Welcome from Washington State

 

Welcome to "The Shave Den" great bunch of folks learning and talking about everything.

 

Welcome to TSD!

 

Welcome to our group.

 

Welcome to TSD @The situational shaver! Being the inquisitive guy that I am, I looked to your other posts. Not many folks finish a bottle of The Veg so I'm guessing depending on the situation, you might be a hard core shaver. Got any favorite hardware or software you use often? Anything you are curious about so others can offer opinion or advice?

 

Welcome, from Texas.

 

Shavewise, I like Merkur razors, and Simpson brushes. Nothing really fancy, just traditional, old school gear.
The reason I’m the Situational Shaver, is that I live in the mid-west, and we have every weather you can think of.
As a result, if it’s dry, and there’s no humidity, I’ll use a boar brush with a hard soap, just to get some exfoliation
and follow it up with a glycerin based aftershave.
But, I live right by the Mississippi River, so it’s mostly very humid.
So my skin is usually pretty hydrated, so a badger brush with a soft cream is more comfortable, and I’ll follow
that up with a plain alcohol splash. A glycerin aftershave makes your skin sticky, and greasy.
As for the Veg, since I use plain alcohol splashes most of the time, I like all of the Clubman products.
They have different scents for different times of the year, so I use them year ‘round.
I use other lines as well, just not as much.
Depending on the time of the year, I use different scents.
So no matter what time of the year it is, I have an aftershave with glycerin, for when there’s no humidity, an
aftershave with butylene, or propylene glycol, for when there’s moderate humidity, and a plain alcohol splash
when there’s high humidity. The perfect shave for the situation.

 

You can check out anytime, but you can never leave.

 

I recently bought a tube of Clubman tube lather, and I can’t get it to lather up to save my life.
There are a few YouTube vids of people getting a good lather, rather quickly, but it’s kickin’ my #%&.
Any advice?
