The loft is probably set higher; 52mm: to allow for faster drying and more splay. The pattern in the resin is mesmerizing, too
The brush is way hooooooger than I expected, both the handle and the knot. I'll try it out this weekend, probably.The loft is probably set higher; 52mm: to allow for faster drying and more splay. The pattern in the resin is mesmerizing, too
There was one extra space so I got it.Well crap, my formatting didn't come through. It was a joke were there were a bunch of extra spaces added to "expand it."
Boris isn't dabbling in that now, is he?Was it a Voodoo hex cast on me by @blethenstrom?
He is into statistics lately, which is the worst type of Voodoo.Boris isn't dabbling in that now, is he?
I have given up the lifestyle of the occult. It was too much work to keep up with all the ceremonies and weird things you had to do and you should see the outfits that they made you wear. No it was not for me in the end so it was not me hexing your shave. Hmmm there is someone that I know though that could have done it. He is a cult leader, but I have not seen him around much lately. He must have gone into hiding and that is @lasta. Wait a second you are part of his crew. It must be an inside job.....Pre-shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost

I needed a get right shave after having some unexpected irritation on and off this week. Was it the Nacet? Was it the noir fibers? Was it the menthol in the Skin Bracer? Was it the soap? Was it my technique? Was it planetary alignment? Was it a Voodoo hex cast on me by @blethenstrom?
I went with the combination that I knew would never hurt me (if you now have the Culture Club song in your head, you're right there with me), and the one that's listed above delivered without any issue. I'll try my best to figure out the irritation by slowing building up to the routine I want to use this summer, which is to rotate soaps, use a more aggressive razor, and finish with Skin Bracer. I hope it's not the Nacet because I just finished stockpiling over 400 of them. I liked them tremendously in the past without issue, but our skin can certainly change.

Now that paints a really strange and disturbing picture in my mind.@blethenstrom I wouldn't want to go to bed at night knowing you have a little Eric doll wearing an "I love GSB" t-shirt with several pins stuck in it.
Thanks, same to you, brother!Have a blessed day, my friend.
Get better quickly there my friend!Pre-shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost

Not a bad shave today. I had a little sting from the Old Spice. I'm not sure what's going on. I've noticed my whole body has been inflamed lately due to some mystery condition that no doctor or specialist can diagnose, so maybe the irritation I've been experiencing while shaving lately is another part of the great mystery. I may consider going back to canned goo for a bit until everything settles down. Soaps, if done right, leave me with virtually no sting. Canned goo leaves me without sting. The tradeoff is the closeness in shave.
Thanks. I’ve been dealing with it for years, off and on. My body is inflamed until it decides it’s not.Get better quickly there my friend!
Stupid question, perhaps, but have they tested you for psoriatic arthritis? It has some odd symptoms. I started out with skin issues. After a biopsy, I was diagnosed with psoriasis.Pre-shave: Neutrogena Hydro Boost
