Brush: Declaration Grooming B2 (25mm) no-name "gaslamp" handle Badger
Razor: u/EldrormR Industries MM24
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE [14]
Lather: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Soap
Post Shave:* Noble Otter - Lonestar - Aftershave
I just back from Kauai yesterday, so the only question for me was which Noble Otter to use. Do I look back and reminisce about Hawaii by using Monoi de Tahiti or accept that vacation is over and that I’m back in Texas again and go with Lonestar. I picked Lonestar as the optimistic forward looking choice.
Second shave with the B2 today and am on the fence. I think it may be a little too gelly for me, and I just can’t figure out the loading and lather release with it. It seems perfectly happy to sling lather onto the mirror or my arm or my chest, but then won’t let any go on my face. After my first pass the brush seemed to be full of lather, but literally nothing would come off onto my face when I tried for a second pass until I fully reloaded. Will keep trying because general consensus is that the B2 is a great knot so not sure what I am missing…
