Hello all,
While I've been a member here for a number of years, I haven't actively posted since 2016 or so... A lot has changed since then. New job, new baby (another on the way). In regards to shaving there's been plenty of new hardware/software... Tried many products and, in a way, I've come full circle... Preferences changing from boar to badger to synthetic, and now back to boar. I've come to the realization that I prefer the scrub/lathering ability of a nice Semogue boar brush. Started with a DE89, started on my quest for greater efficiency while working my way up to an R41. Then finally settled on the Gillette Super Adjustable as my razor of choice which I find the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency. I've also come to realize that while there are so many amazing soaps, splashes, and balms out there, I just keep coming back to Cella.
It's the simple pleasures that can be the greatest pleasures. I think that sums this hobby up in a nutshell... Thanks all for reading and I look forward to talking to you all.
