Dave in KY's Videos and Hangout

So what I think Eric is trying to say is that Charlie Daniels was wrong. The Devil went down to Kentucky....not Georgia.

Razor: Occam's SE
Blade: Feather Super (2)
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: Fuzzy Face Monkey Farts
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos Fresh Lime
Fragrance: CK One
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 919

Brought out my Occam because of some talk on DFS about it. Got a great shave with dot 2 plate and a Feather Super. My problem is the shaves don't usually last as long for me and the long ears make a good XTG near impossible on the above the lip region. Still a fun shave with the Monkey Farts which is a cherry/banana bubble gum scent. I just like the name mostly but it is a good soap base. Taking the day off for things around the house that need attention. Have a great day Everyone !!

The Williams Brush has had the Boar removed and it was discovered the hollow handle had no stop for the plug once it was removed. It appears that the knots originally were inserted from below and then the bottom button/cap of the handle was installed. Of course this left nothing for the new knot to secure to. Fortunately a synthetic wine cork proved the perfect thing to set in the handle with silicone and gave a bottom for the new knot to set to. Setting up now and should be ready for the next Williams Wednesday Shave.

She has you trained well

If you wanted to add some heft to that you could always epoxy in a fishing egg sinker.

Yeah, I considered weighting it but decided it didn't need it

Blade: Wizamet (4)

Soap: Baron's Choice 1508.5

Picked this Ikon Tech up on the BST as all the talk of it's aggressiveness has had me avoid it but curious........Yep, it's aggressive for sure and 1 that for me requires paying attention. Got a very close 3 pass shave and curiosity has been quenched. Probably wouldn't reach for it much and may sell/trade it soon. Still a good shave was had with 1 inattention nick when I was getting cocky/confident. It was cleared at the end of the shave with alum and no lasting effects. Have a great day one and all !
