There is that ?
They also make good lawnmowers.
I've always wanted a four legged lawn mower...or maybe a few. But I was thinking of the goat variety...that way I won't feel guilty eating them if I get ticked off.
Beautiful horses!

Thank you. Yeah, I couldn’t eat one of these.

Pre Shave-
Warm shower followed up with a warm water splash.
Shave-
Maggard Rszor MR7
Astra SP
Vie Long horsehair
Stirling Ben Franklin soap
Post Shave-
Warm water rinse
Stirling Ben Franklin AS splash
Keeping the technique from Sunday night, I made sure my brush was just damp. I also increased my load time just a bit from the previous shave. Lathered up and just sprinkled a bit of water on the brush as I went. I was able to build a better lather than the previous shave and it was slick. Once again this produced better results than I had been receiving with the brush.
Got the lather dialed in and I went with my standard three passes: WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Last night I also walked away with another DFS. So I'll take that for the win.
Wrapped everything up with the AS splash and all was right as rain. Post shave was again very good as well. Life is good!

I need to throw some saddles on them, they are getting fat.
Yeah, I think you are getting it with the Vie Long .

Great couple of shave Tim!
Good job on dialing the lather in!
You didn't mention the free fertilizer benefit.
It doesn’t seem like a benefit when you have a push mower ?

Yes, I am making progress.

Nice shave. Haven't had a horse hair since my Best Shave one. I gave to a friend and miss it.

It’s not a bad brush, just needs some time put into it. I wanted one of each hair type just to see how they lather.

Still seeing improvement with the brush technique. I made sure my brush was just damp and I also increased my load time just a bit again. Lathered up and I was able to build a better lather than the previous shave and it was slick also. Once again this produced better results.
Got the lather dialed in quickly and I went with my standard three passes: WTG, XTG and ATG and have no drama to report. Last night I walked away with a BBS for the win.

Soap is cheap. Load it like ya hate it! Though I hate that saying, I do believe in not scrimping on how much soap is used. We have plenty to go around. Except Chad. Apparently when the big one hits he's planning on surviving on the water in his toilet tank and having enough soap to shave for the next 100 years.
