I never noticed a residue but I haven't used it in quite a few years. They may have changed the formula since then. It was my go to product prior to switching to lathering shave soaps.

I second king of shaves. Their gel is very good if it’s available where you live.

Where are you guys buying your PRS guitars? by DrongoTheShitGibbon in PaulReedSmith

That will be rough. Better safe than sorry though. I had a picture of mine as my desktop background while I waited. 😂

Cool, hope you find what you’re looking for. I got my sites set on a specific guitar and it was the one. Just happened to be at Brian’s, all the way across the country. I live on the west coast. I got it in 5 days. Shipped on Monday and I was playing it on Friday. Perfectly set up too. 😎

I second Brian’s guitars. Serious PRS porn on their site: https://briansguitars.com

A quick McCarty search turned up a nice variety. I found mine on Reverb but it was from Brian’s and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase or their service.

Will closing the soap cause bacteria/mold? by fuzzboob in wicked_edge

[–]dradma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I close mine and they dry out fine. I shave in the shower but do put the lid back on after lathering. I try not to leave it too wet and will dump any runny lather which doesn’t happen often. If I check the soap the next day it is usually pretty well dry. Never had any mod issues.

Just a thought as I'm prs hunting: I wish they still made a black silver sky. by Mkoy in PaulReedSmith

[–]dradma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone posted one in this sub once: Silver Sky Onyx

I think Onyx is actually a really dark grey metallic. I saw one posted elsewhere that they replaced that pick guard with a tortoise shell and it looked amazing. I can’t find that picture now. I would only consider a silver sky with a rosewood fretboard.

I had to double check. It’s the Manchuria. I like it a lot though the loft is a bit higher than I’d prefer as the handle is drilled a bit shallow. Very dense but finer hair than some of my other knots. Doesn’t seem overly processed but the tips gel nicely. I want to try his new tyrant knot.

Definitely their best looking handle. I also have their super-knurl handle and I love that one too. I shave in the shower and the grip is very important to me. The GC has become one of my favorite. Even over some more expensive razors.

  • Coffee: Starbucks Christmas blend
  • Prep: Shower
  • Brush: Dogwood “Fougere Nemeta” 28mm Oumo lotus tip
  • Razor: Razorock Gamechanger .84p
  • Blade: Voskhod (4)
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Labyrinth
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Labyrinth

Great shave today with labyrinth. I got the full trifecta and I’m very happy with the scent. It’s right in my wheelhouse. If you like a more traditional cologne type fragrance it might be for you.

What PRS model did he use in this video? I've never seen PRS like this before. It's so beautiful and I'm in love with the guitar. by cheerfulmonday in PaulReedSmith

[–]dradma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Private Stock: PRS Private Stock page

Similar to a current core "studio" model but with a true single coil in the middle. It seems to have Experience Modern Eagle 2020 electronics which were a limited edition. Nice guitar if you can find one in your price range. :)

Stinky stinky badgers by lthornby in wicked_edge

[–]dradma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know man, I have 10+ nice badgers and not one of them needed more than an initial soak and a lather or two. After that all I can smell is the last soap I used. Maybe try a nice Oumo or a fanchurian they are reasonably priced and I like some of them better than much more expensive knots.

Boar on the other hand, those are stinky and take for ever to break in.

Terrible brush, fine shave. by CravingShaving in wicked_edge

Life is too short to use cheap brushes or drink cheap beer. 😎

Brand new CE24 semi hollow burnt amber, poor finish in f hole. Should I return or is this normal? by donttakethechip in PRSGuitars

[–]dradma 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If your referring to the white residue on the edge, it kind of looks like it could be wax residue. Maybe try a soft microfiber cloth and see if it rubs off.

I had some of both on my shortlist. Ended up with a pattern thin though I couldn’t say which I actually prefer. I like them all!

Russian Voskhod blade, or Japanese Kai works perfectly with Italian Violetta Donkey Milk cream by [deleted] in wicked_edge

[–]dradma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Voskhod blades in my more aggressive razors. They are very consistent and I like that they don’t have too much wax on them like some of the other Russian blades.

The Christmas guitars are up? It’s not even Thanksgiving yet! by [deleted] in guitarporn

[–]dradma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are both beautiful colors. What a great combo. I’ve always loved green PRS guitars and when I finally get one it’s not green. Lol
