Dave in KY's Videos and Hangout

I had wanted a boar as people raved about them and was wanting the green one but the were no longer available so I got the black one. It is taking FOREVER to break in compared to my Oumo which was broke in and soft after a cold water treatment. Not giving up on the Stirling one but it's still rough every time I reach for it.....

Dave, I have to admit that the Stirling boar I got was my only disappointment with their brushes.  A friend removed the boar and replaced it with a synthetic knot for me.  Maybe you'll have better luck.

I've had it quite awhile but won't give up. I keep working at it, Thanks

I just remembered that I got a boar in the same order as the fabulous Finest I mentioned earlier.  It also had the black stripe and letters, but the same cool looking handle:



$9.95 worth of you get what you pay for on a good day - a very rare disappointment from Rod and Mandy.  I must admit that I finally put mine away and forgot about it, which I guess amounts to giving up on it.

Incredible shave with the still Reigning Champ of scents for me by Ethos............drum roll..............DRAGONSBEARD !! Video is uploading and is a 1st attempt at splicing 2 videos together as the Tablet took a Fuzzy Dive into the sink and I had to restart filming to include the final pass and back of neck shave. Hopefully they will splice together and I will add it when it does. Take care Everyone !!

Cool. I most always use the original Mk1.0 with the stacked blades as it's much easier to load than subsequent (GE Jones) models and the head a bit more aggressive to start with -- which the two blades smooths out. I'll have to take out the MK2.0 and see how it works with Polsilvers, don't think I've tried the combo.

Are Stirling Boars still available?  I'd love to get one as I love boar and I love the Stirling handle.  I have a Stirling synthetic which I could reknot with boar if I knew how to reknot and where to get a decent boar knot.  Any tips?

Wooo...high class shave to kick the work week’s end off! Very nice Dave!

What was your baked good of choice this morning?

Where did you get your 6s polished?

AlanH81 had polished his and I traded him a Wolf Whisker brush for it. He does great professional work !
