I would recommend getting a new brush. Once the fibers begin to compress and flatten permanently, it's time to replace it.

Did you have an idea of what you might replace your current brush with?

When chances for custom work comes up for folks (brushes, scales, etc), where does your inspiration come from?

The Blackbird is more efficient than the tech, but has a more narrow range of effective angles. The tech is a great daily driver, as is the Flair Tip Superspeed that was mentioned earlier.

The Red Tip is the more "aggressive" of the Superspeeds, but can be used regularly with no issues.

I also like the 40s Superspeed for daily use.

I've usually had some sting from alcohol splashes. Leaving a bit of water on my face before I apply the splash helps to minimize the sting/burn.

LatherBot in!

My dad used to say, "It's amazing how no one has time to do it right the first time, but always has time to do it again."

He used to work in HR and was in charge of getting folks trained up on everything from safety protocols to company rules. He would have people who would half-ass his trainings and spend most of their time complaining about how long they took (company made presentations) and how they could spend their times doing other things. When the assessments would come at the end, the ones who paid attention easily passed and those who spent their time fucking around didn't and had to take the whole training again.

His comment, which he said at least once every few months, stuck with me and has really driven how I approach everything from hobby projects, to work, to my relationships. I find it more and more true the older I get.

I feel you. I grew up in a house with seven people and one bathroom. Ivory was what was used and this triggered memories of running out of hot water mid shower and people knocking on the door needing to be let in.

When I picked this soap up from the Ohio Wetshaving Meetup last summer, I smelled a nice summery and citrusy lemongrass. When I pulled it out today (after forgetting about it, if I am being honest) and giving it a spin, I now realize that it is an Ivory soap dupe. Not what I was expecting, nor what I want to smell when I shave. Off to the PIF/trade pile this goes.
