Ever Ready w/ two band badger
CBL Breakfast Blend
Thayers Coconut Water

Just realized I forgot to post this earlier. Been a crazy day.
Had an even better shave with the Weck today. BBS, no irritation, and no weepers.
Also only had the slightest reaction to the soap this time. Guess I'm getting used to it, which is good cause I really like it.

Sounds like the blade is coming into it's own. Are you still using the guard?
Yeah. I was to tired to keep trying without it this week.

Glad you’re still having success!
If I grab another at some point, it’ll definitely have the celluloid scales or similar. The all stainless is beautiful but does need a little wipe down after each use, and it’s a bit slippery.
The only other real con I have is that the tail is a bit too short and awkward.

Yea pretty much anything like that I think. Just not something slippery.

Nice entry Kyle and hope the shifts settle down for you.
@The Monkey Nice work on the scales. They look great !!!

Best not to mess with a Weck when you’re weary! That’s for sure.
Does a little alum on your fingers help your grip? That’s about my only advice for that.
My problem with the Stainless scales is the weight. I think they pull a little and affect my angle. I prefer the lighter plastic scales.
Agree but they are great if you have an autoclave.

Needed a shower before bed due to getting all sweaty so I figured I'd get a shave in too. Decided to John's @The Monkey other Weck he sent me to swap the scales for him. He told me to hang onto it for a bit to get the feel for a no guard shave so it seemed like a good time to use it, although it looks like I'll be send it back soon since I now have one headed my way from the bay. Did get 1 small cut from one of the corners but it stopped quick. Otherwise a nice BBS shave before turning in for the night.
Oh and just for you Chris @GearNoir I towel stropped my brush tonight.

The brush looked happier in the pic, just sayin
VEry Nice Kyle! Love the look of the scales and I agree...your brush looks happier because of the Towel Strop.
