- Razor: Henkotsu Kamisori #KAMISORI
- Lather: Barrister and Mann – Fougère Angelique
- Post Shave: Barts Balm - Ben Nevis
One of my early day brushes, given to me by my wife as a christmas present as part of a set…I suppose I could pass the blame on to her for getting me started down the rabbit warren! The knot isn’t anything special, and it has a backbone like a willow but it serves its purpose and I couldn't get rid of it.
I’ve only tried this Kamisori a couple of times, I’m still not completely sold on it and much prefer my standard straights and western grind. It doesn't help that I've really struggled to put a proper edge on it, it does the job but it's not quite there.
I absolutely love this Angelique soap though, picked it up from Maggards a good while ago. Just a shame that I can’t get my hands on the splash to go along with it. If I’m ever in the states again I may have to place an order to a hotel in the hopes I can bring it back with me. I don’t have much in the way of software to complement Angelique, my other fougeres just don't seem to go so I usually throw on Thayers Lemon but decided to slap on Barts Ben Nevis instead, I guessed ahead of time this wasn't going to be the smoothest with the kami.
I've garnered some useful information from the DQ thread in the past, I think as you say /u/Crisp_Mango, today is not that day, I almost put a disclaimer for people looking for genuine advice. Though there are instances where the advice tries to be helpful, though reading through the alt comments now from Friday I've taken some helpful info away myself.
Not daily question related but thank you again for the education that imgur images can be hidden in free talk Friday. After switching all of my pics over I thought they needed to be public, after being swiftly downvoted by the general public…philistines…I hid them again. Though one kind individual did ask whether I liked whisky and if so to try lapsang souchong in response to my 'I don't like tea' pic, weird but oddly kind.
Hope everyone has a good kick off to the weekend.
Cheers
Marc
