Omg my shavemac #25 finest badger brush arrived!

[Latherdude]

Can't wait to lather up tonight!

I also got a sample pack of feathers, derbys (derbies?), astras, and red pack personnas (and the 'crystal' blades are re-branded American Safety Razor co. blades IIRC).

I'm thinking I'll use my Tech and a cream. We'll see how it goes!

I would have voter Proraso, but if you are shaving at night then not so much. I find it to be more of a wake-up cream, so AOS, mmm sandlewood.

maybe a couple passes with the Tech under the Sandalwood tonight, and then Proraso in the morning with the HD for the 1-2 BBS punch?

Help a newbie out.

Is "bloom" kind of synonymous with "break-in period"? Does it depend on the context?
