12 Jan Shave - Erasmic day

Hey I remembered to post this when I woke up. Here's the 12th's shave. Nothing fancy.

Come join our nutty bunch on Facebook, search for The BiG Shave. Steve Faragher (sfaragher) runs it and does a fine job. As always, I'll answer questions and comments, but really it's hard to topple mantic59's videos and quite frankly, he's a far better Shave Tutor (see what I did there?) than I am. badgerandblade.com is also a great resource for shavers. Straights, DEs, SEs, what have you...

Stuff I used today:
Merkur 37c Slant - Astra SP
Turkish horse brush
Erasmic cream
Clubman
Superdrug moisturizer

@hoskins1100 It'll hold enough for 4 or 5 passes easily if you're not going for super thick on the face. There are videos of me face-lathering the beast, but I'll do one for you with Razorock. That thought makes me want to shave right now.

@tommyrazzleisback Yeah, my stubble really doesn't grow quick in the course of a day. A day and a half and you can easily tell though. It's not dense growth, but it is coarse and hard as hell, lol.

@afterbirth04 Pre-shave oil for me doesn't do much more than the softening soap I've been using once in a while. It does however play an important part in maintaining my prep while I get dressed and ready to record. I've only used some pretty cheap Erasmic oil though. There is a difference between olive oil. Lots of recipes and discussion about oils at B&B. My dad's is a Marantz 1060 in the wood cab. I want it so badly.

hi tim i have a question ive been wanting to ask you regarding your simpsons berkely, i was wondering how it performs as a face latherer and does it hold enough lather for a 3 pass shave if so desired, ive been thinking about adding one to my rotation and for 50 bucks you cant hardly beat it for a simpson, i know you realy like yours and ive probably seen you face lather with it but i cant recall, thanks for another great video,

Tim, I'm convinced you don't need to shave, and you don't actually put a blade in your razor! Your face never looks any different at the end of a shave than it does at the start.. Haha.

...whats your opinion on Pre-Shave Oil? I know most people either swear by it, or call it out as pointless rubbish...Also, if you happen to know, do you think theres a difference between a branded pre shave oil, and say, regular old olive oil? I know there are physical differences, but I mean as a pre-shave...or you can talk about that tube receiver again ;)...
