Nice stuff Dave and cool about the chair. Looking forward to seeing it and the reupolsterying of it
Great stuff Dave...
You mentioned the blade sticking to the face when you were shaving with the EAB. I've experienced that more with the heavier grinds, especially near or full wedges. I've found that I need to increase the shave angle by at least 10-20* to avoid that happening. (for those of you who have NOT experienced it, when it happens the first time, it can be absolutely terrifying). I've yet to experience that with anything ground beyond half hollow.
Wetting the blade is a great trick to help avoid that, however. Outside of that, the smaller blades are just so much fun to whip around the face. I think, when equal care is given to the technique, they are much easier to shave with than their larger and heavier counterparts. Where they tend to start to have issues, in my experience, is when they are asked to shave multiple (4+) days growth and a smidgen of pressure is needed to get the blade through the hair. Inexperienced straight users will end up applying that pressure in the wrong direction ending up in irritation or worse yet, sushi.
Really enjoying the Barbershop at home series, though. I borrowed the "time warp" from you...helps cut down on the amount of bandwidth I'm using out here per video. Looking forward to your take n the lather cam! Hope your Monday went well.
BTW, have you tried any A&E soaps yet?

Nice shave, what happened to the enchilada shave ? I miss it ?
Signature would be one that I would recommend. Grecian Horse is based off of Parfum de Marly Pegasus, but is VERY similar to Endymion, something you might enjoy.
Nice shave Dave! Congrats on the barber chair find! Hope you’ve been able to find a trustworthy place to reupholster it...
Thanks Gents
