@Devissee the whole story is on my blog at mantic59(dot)blogspot(dot)com. click on "1st Time Here?" then click on "Why did I get into traditional shaving"
@Devissee i used an electric razor for 30 years before I "saw the light." my wife took me to an Art of Shaving store and had them give me a straight razor shave and thats what got me interested.
okay im sorry to be rude but i cant help it...for someone who seems to be very hygenic you really should pay attention to your teeth...they need some brushing and whiteing...
Yo, Mantic I just got a Jaguar 1071 brush and man is it huge! but after the first wetting the strong stink exuding from it is disgusting, I think it must be horse hair because it doesn't look like my other boar brush. very barn yardish if you know what I mean.
I saw your brush cleaning vids and is borax the strongest thing to use? Because right now it stinks so bad that I would have to hold my breath to use it! HELP!
Lookin good indeed, glad to see you posting fresh videos :) I was wondering - I own a synthetic brush by L'Occitane and I'm afraid it's not the smoothest of shaves. With my skin being a bit on the sensitive side when I haven't had enough sleep, I find that I'm definitely in need of a new brush, even though the L'Occitane does perfect with longer beard. What I'd really like to know is whether all synthethics generally share the same qualities as the one I own, or should I just try another make?
@mantic59 Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably go ahead and buy a Muhle "hjm" synthetic to see how it does compared to the L'Occitane brush I'm currently using.
how does it take for boar hair to break in?

@Air2dig24 several weeks at least. For it to get really soft may take several months.

How did you shave before learning to use the safety razor? I'm just curious. What caused you to begin wet-shaving?

Are you a barber? How many years have been acquainted with wet shaving? I appreciate your interest and considerable knowledge.
Devissee 10 months ago
@Devissee nope, not a barber. Been shaving like this only since 2004.

@xmen123321 you may be able to shave a single pass with a light sunburn but be very careful and mositurize like crazy.

@Me7roiD I have 3 synthetic brushes and they do behave differently. Actually the one I like best is a cheap (~$15) Omega Synthex!

The Semogue 1305 boar brush is a really good beginners(and pro's) brush. Great for face lathering soaps or creams.
BTW
Good video, again, mate.
