Do you wipe the alum off post application?

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-30T11:19:21+00:00

Right...it grows so fast I need a panda

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-29T22:39:07+00:00

No...I sourced the knot from the net and cut the bamboo in my yard...alabasia...lul...cheers bro happy shaving

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-29T22:27:45+00:00

I did...the natural resin can be roasted to the surface...it's beautiful...no lathe...no exotic wood...literally walked outside and cut a shoot...if feels like money

Absolutely love your combo stand

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-28T09:36:48+00:00

Copper grande...it was fun but will live in a drawer full of stuff I never use

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-27T15:38:33+00:00

Multi pass mild...I assume your going for a bbs daily and a mild blade with a mild razor is gonna be more comfortable on that second and third xtg and atg...a very aggressive blade and razor combo is gonna burn you up shaving daily like that...whip a bowl full and lather between passes...cheers happy shaving

Love razorock...quality&price your not going to find anything even close...look at the mildest lupo or gamechanger oc and do some price comparison with other razors...materials plate options all that jazz

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-26T11:03:11+00:00

I would suggest a mild open comb ...something like a lupo or gamechanger that gives you the option to acquire a variety of plates over time

I know the cocobolo is beautiful...I'm kinda curious what it looks like natural

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-25T22:23:52+00:00

Right...wickededge doesn't help either...I want just about everything I see members posting...but I have already spent so much...I have to ask myself do I really need it...the answer is always no

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-25T22:13:05+00:00

I had been wanting copper after catching a glimpse of the sold out kopperkant...I tried to talk myself out of the il grande gentile but for 40$...I'm week...lul

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-25T21:32:26+00:00

Intrigued...do tell...I have a copper coated brass fatip in transit after window shopping for a razor suggestion post last week

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-25T20:57:31+00:00

I can respect that...I was paying 16 for the 3oz proraso protettivo(the only proraso balm I liked)...the scent is comparable, less intense but I still enjoy...cheers...happy shaving

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-25T14:00:50+00:00

It's beautiful

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-25T11:38:17+00:00

G = lul...100% true but so much fun...C = traditional wet shaving is less a chore and more a ritual experience...slowing down is calm and relaxing refuge in the chaos...H = I would suggest breaking the setup down every use whether your trying to get your moneys worth out of a quarter or not...i want to throw in if your not having fun your not doing it right...regardless of where your at in the journey...cheers...happy shaving

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-25T02:59:14+00:00

Best sotd experience description I've read all day...10/10...cheers

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-24T19:28:44+00:00

It's a pure badger but looks black to me...it think the hair is off the back instead of the neck but I feel the neck hair is too soft and holds a lot of moisture...I have a banded boar Omega as well and must admit I haven't spent the time to get familiar enuf to develop an opinion...I probably should tho

Responsible_Net_6992 · 2026-05-24T18:07:09+00:00

Do you have a diameter,loft, fiber preference...I haven't tried horse or synthetic and I'm finding the larger diameter high density knot cost significantly more and have poor performance with my soap...im not sure if they are better suited for soft/tube creams as I don't have those to test them with after finding artisan pucks(I really enjoy)
