Wow, M W F!! I used a slightly damp/dryer brush today, loaded longer and worked it in longer than usual. What a lather explosion, fingers crossed I don´t get pimples (MWF does that sometimes for me) :D. Thanks for the tip Kostantinos!

Another nice shave but still not as close as the DE.
Still, I'm only doing 1 & 1/2 passes.
I don't want to rush anything and I'm sure it will all workout in time?

I decided to give the Simpsons a rest and get the 150 out, I'm wondering if BeeJay can recreate the shape.

Shouldn't be a problem although there's a version of one of those with a faceted base which would be a real pain particularly with acrylic. :)

I have felt the razor a bit rough in the 1st pass then, I've stopped, 25 passes on the coticule, stropping and I have finished with a comfortable shave....great soap and brush. Have a nice day gentlemen!

Vulfix 2189 Travel
Arko Soap Stick

Three passes, face lathered.

Proraso ASB

I'm enjoying great shaves with the Tech so I may stay with it for a while. This little Vulfix 2189 is a cracking performer; it is putting other more expensive brushes, of mine, to shame.

Splendid.
:D
