Good Reads John, I plan on doing a honing Zoom or Tutorial soon but with a Coticule Dilucot / TransArk Diluark method

Thanks Dave. I read your comment and then read about the dilucot method for about an hour. Kinda wish my impulse buy was for a Coticule instead of the Jasper now.

Mostly BBS, just a bit on my neck I can’t seem to find the right angles to get. The Speick is going fast, gotta think about what I’ll be using next.

Neck anatomy is not shave friendly

Hipster and Speick seem like a good match. Haven't used Speick for some time, but I remember its clean, fresh scent.

They compliment each other quite nicely. It’s becoming my go to combo if I can’t decide what I want to use.

More Speick!

Repeat from last night. Even with a very light touch the edge felt a little rough. Still got a nice shave, just not as close and tons of feedback from the splash.

Feeling smooth after using some of my favorite things. I’m starting to understand the whole 3017 thing, the lather is really feeling dialed in and consistent.

Nice John. I agree about the 3017 benefits, my ADHD precludes it though. Man I LOVE that brush !!!!!!!!

Love your setup, particularly that gorgeous brush. It really stands out. I agree, dialing in the whole shave experience is a terrific benefit of 3017ing.

I didn't say I COULD do it all the time but It does have it's benefits for those that can.

I have to agree John...consistent shaves with the same soap (and maybe other gear...and I won't go as far as saying a 3017) really gets you dialed into that soap. And that brush...Oh man what a beauty!

 

[HMan]

There's a reason they say practice makes perfect. It's the best way to really dial a shave in.

• Yates 921-HYB
• Wizamet (3)
• Graydog SHD
• WSP Mahogany
• Speick Splash

First time using a WSP soap. I bought 2 on a whim on sale for having a dented tin. The other is Cedar Citron in the rustic base. The Mahogany smell very nice and is incredibly easy to load and lather. Slickness was so so but it was a first use so I’ll use it for a few days to try and dial it in. I’m really looking forward to the package that should be showing up Saturday containing the Vector.
I haven’t used the Yates in quite a while and I forgot how smooth and efficient this thing is. Easy BBS with a negligible amount of feedback from the splash.
Have a good night Cadre.

Thanks Dave! Everything about the Graydog brush is amazing. The look, feel and knot are spot on.

Hey hey hey... I said I understand it, not subscribe to it.

Couldn’t agree more Don!

Thanks Bruce! I salute you for being able to use one soap and splash at a time. Maybe one day I’ll get there too... but today is not that day.
