Really nice shave today, although I seemingly missing the right side of my face. Oh well. Real story of this shave is the new brush. It arrived yesterday, and this was the first time I used it. It is super dense, so it has a strong backbone, while still being nice and soft. It whipped up lather in no time flat. Very impressed in my first go with it, especially since it is different than my other knots. I have an Independent Synthetic Fibre Knot (UHD) on the way, so I’m curious as to how it will compare to the AK47 knot.

Did 2 passes on my face and 3 + cleanup on my neck. Didn’t do a straight ATG pass (just went south to north) and it turned out good. Not quite as smooth, but very close with less fuss. Still not completely sold on Nacet blades, though, which is a shame.

Due to the Spearhead sale, I will not be using another soap until I kill this tub so that my purchase of another SIL tub can be justified.

Threw in my last BiC in the Legacy today to see if I should grab more. I think I will. Nice and smooth shave today with any issue. I think the Wizamet are better, but it is nice to have options. Elysian Pineapple Ambrosia is quickly turning into one of my personal favorites, so I’m going to have to pick up other Elysian products as a result.

Replying with Sync.

Great to be here :)

Has the NBA spilled over to the NHL?

Lizzie seems to be having some sort of existential crisis.

Why can I never catch the red dot?

Great review as always, Griz!

That is not a pretty cap penalty for the Preds.

I’m feeling the same way. Can’t wait for Sync.

Should be able to fit in one of these cases: https://www.18650batterystore.com/collections/18650-battery-cases.

That said, can you just unscrew the tail a corner turn before putting it in your pocket.

But are you afraid to rub the belly?

Damn, good job. That’s no easy task. They look great.

Sorry to hear about your experience on the subreddit. Typically it’s not like that at all.

He’s done it so often that I had to move that particular plant to a hanging pot. I have the empty pot in the same spot, and he seems contact knocking it over from time to time.
