Nice shave. I guess the GTB backfired yesterday.
Or they just wanted more?Nice shave. I guess the GTB backfired yesterday.
I feel a binge coming on soonGreat reads, Dave. And yes, you need to get more Stirling soaps!
They did just happen to get rid of everyone that had any history like thatAh Jury Duty.... See I have been summoned a few times. Tell them I did 1.5 years of law school and a change of heart. They excuse me. They say I know too much of the "process"
But but but Chaaaaad, it’s so hard to leave the hair behind.
Another dolphin shave huh... good stuff!
I guess the Daves like pretending to be dolphins.
That's my cross to bear, as well.
I'm just getting caught up here, and some good stuff, Dave! I think the curve for straights has a few plateaus involved and some twists and turns along the way. Keep at it because it helps me knowing there's other guys out there going for it and figuring it out. And enjoy the occasional dolphin face from the RX along the way.
Dang, thank you. Very generous. I’m going to clean up my weck and try it tomorrow. While the SS is sexier, I think the shave from the Weck was closer so it makes me think a straight up straight is probably the most efficient.I used short overlapping strokes more than long swipes. It’s like blade budding but not as short. The neck is a complex place to shave but when you find your groove you will love the straight. My neck feels best When I use the straight.
I’m working on a restoration of a pretty beat up John Engstrom. When it’s done I’ll send it to you. The rounded toe is great for the neck and the Swedish steel will hold an edge like nobody’s business. I have a pretty cheesy 1.5” strop I can send but you might want another. I sent one of my cheesey strops to @cvargo, he can attest to the cheesiness. Once the blade was is done I’ll send it with some of the new Damascus soaps.
Just the cheeks by a long shot. And that takes 3 passes for sure with overlapping strokes. I have read of others getting BBS after 2 passes, but I know that’s impossible for the way my hair grows. I can’t even get a 2 pass BBS with the RX with minimal growth.Great shave! You guys talking about your BBS straight shaves make me a little jealous. I am stuck in DFS land. Oh well, maybe when I add in my 3rd pass it will reach that level.
I can't wait to see what you can do with that straight Chris is sending you.
