Shit shave. I had refreshed my TI after this recipe, but I must have screwed up somewhere – probably didn't use enough pressure with the first stone. The brush hardly held enough lather for a cheek – I'm not sure I'll use it again. But I'm still impressed by the HAGS soap.
Have a good night!

I'm surprised nobody commented on the ultimative honing video by the Froggy Shave - don't worry: he uses a Gold Dollar!

Yes, that was entertaining. In a few days, someone will criticize him for not doing circles, or not using a slurry, or using the sea pebble as a convex hone improperly :)
Did that Oral B 7mm Synthetic have soft bristles? I've been thinking of getting another travel brush.
Unfortunately not. But with a loft of approximately 5mm, I didn't expect it to. Maybe once it's completely broken in 🤔
