Thanks Chris and that's 12 hours before starting to get first trace in my problem area. I'm basically still smooth everywhere else.

Did they put that much epoxy in there, or was the knot just glued into a really deep glue plug? Same result either way, but it would be nice to know if the issue was with the knot itself or how it was set.

Hard to tell for certainty but appears epoxy was in my bristles within millimeters of the brush handle lip.

Nice post Dave! I am going to need you to tell me how to lather that soap if you wouldn't mind. I used it for "Y" day and I don't think I got it to lather as it is supposed to. Great scent though and the Maggard's Tobacco and Leather splash paired nicely with it.

I do it like all my soaps. Some have trouble due to their water but I think she reformulated to eliminate any issues. They used to say to use cooler water. Add water slowly till you get consistency you like. Not much more I can say than that and check some of the older videos here of mine or especially KJ who I think has a several this month using MW. Hope that helps!

2020 Shave # 127 ( 541 Consecutive Shave Days )
Razor: Bigelow and Parkin Travel Razor
Blade: ASCO (5)
Brush: @Graydog Quilt Twinsie
Soap: Zingari Man The Soloist
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Nivea 2 into 1 Splash
Fragrance: CK Amber Gold Euphoria

Decided it had been a bit since using this unusual and cool little travel razor so took the BP out for a spin and the ASCO blade continues to be a smooth operator. If you are the one that sent me these, PLEASE remind me who you are? Nice smooth shave and smelling great. I have a dozen soaps set aside that I'm considering doing 3017's with as @Cvargo has influenced me. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Interesting role model Dave

 

[Dave in KY]

I may not do them immediately one after the other but I have a semi-FIRM resolve to do them. These are the ones I'm semi-DETERMINED to 3017. Some have a use or 2 already so I'm hoping I can power thru.............I will no doubt need encouragement and support to accomplish this......

 

[NurseDave]

I back you 98% on this endeavor

 

[dangerousdon]

So...you are going take two weeks to 3017 eleven samples?

Says the guy shaving once or twice a week lately.......

Whoa whoa whoa...............................let's keep these goals realistic and attainable

 

[NurseDave]

Listen Don. Dave set a goal for himself. And no matter how much of a struggle we think this will be for him it’s our job to make jabs and ridicule while supporting at the same time. You go Dave!
