    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    EDRIO# 87 Cooper MonoBilt #2
    Sharp Star
    Grizzly Bay Wraith (26mm TnS Tip Knot, Frigate Class)
    Stirling Ramblin' Man soap and AS

    The king has returned! The Cooper MonoBilt paired with the Sharp Star blade, a match made in heaven. It ought to be criminal to get such an effortless BBS shave. Ramblin' Man is such a great scent and Stirling's performance leaves nothing to be desired. Happy Monday my friends!

    Paul, Joe @Trigger doesn't count seconds or swirls. He is working the fine tuning of his loading and water to soap mix.
    By looking at how much thick, not wet enough soap is in the bristles, you can tell when it's well loaded. Starting with a "damp" brush (There's one variable, because one shavers drippy wet is another's shook out knot), depending on if you bloomed the soap (Second variable, can/will affect loading time), the type of bristle and the pressure and speed of loading (Third chance to do it different than how others perform the same action) - it all culminates in getting enough soap to make lather. Try checking the bristles to see how much soap it's holding! Worry less about getting too much because soap is cheap. Gotta use it up so you can try others.
    Joe, do you have any Cremo shave cream? I've found a little dollop added to lackluster soaps can bring the slickness. The Cremo Cooling is a nice dose of menthol. CO Bigelow does much the same.

    Just in case you're busy Charlie, I can be an alternate driver. I have enough issues just using standard straight and shavette razors. Don't need to add anymore scares to the face, just yet.

    Good luck to all of the participants (read crazy ones) in this endeavor (read madness). Pictures will be appreciated, but of course we understand that some emergency rooms don't allow that.

    Anyway good luck!
