Another great shave. No wonder I’m so happy in general. Prepped with Jlocke98′s formula: 1/4 cup liquid Dr. Bronner’s soap, any fragrance, and 2 tsp oil (I’ve used olive oil, emu oil, lanolin oil, and jojoba oil, and they all work. Some are allergic to lanolin, though—but it works well). Shake well before each use, and wash beard at the sink with about 1 tsp, rinsing partially with a splash and then applying lather. I keep mine in a pump bottle.
I was careful to load the HJM black synthetic brush fully, and I had no fading-lather problems. Three passes of the Red Ring Eclipse holding a Personna Lab Blue, and then a good splash of Very V by Saint Charles Shave. A good start.
