  • Brush: Declaration Grooming B14 “Nebula” Badger
  • Razor: Schick Hydro Magic
  • Blade: Schick Injector (2)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Sheep - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave feat. House of Mammoth - Permafrost
  • Osma: Osma - Osma
  • Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery - G20

Unfortunately this is my second bad shave in a row, and I think I know the culprit.

When I first got my B14 I was astonished by it. Best brush I ever used, it made lather effortlessly and felt great on my face. But as time went on I felt the performance began to drop, and I’ve always wondered if it has to do with the fact that I lived with extraordinarily hard water for many years.

Last night I shampooed it with a clarifying shampoo. That felt like it helped. I’m now thinking of doing a vinegar rinse to try to clean out whatever residue is making this brush underperform.

Anyway, now to see if tags get registered if they’re inside a spoiler tag.
