Prep: Hot Shower
Razor: Filarmonica Especial 13 finished on Ozuku followed by a couple of swipes on clean leather bench strop from Maksim
Brush: Parker Badger
Cream: TOBS Lavender
ASB: Kroger skin lotion with a little water
Best shave I've had in weeks. First pass was very smooth and close except for a couple of spots I missed. Second pass, was as close to perfect as I get. I'd post a pic but I don't generally buy pretty razors, nor do I do more than the minimum restoration work needed to make them useable. I also use a short water glass to lather up. Works for me.

Todays shave was fantastic, i had bad luck with my first tulip brush from Rob, it had a flaw in the stone so it cracked, today i got a new one and a extra brush (lionhead) for free, cheers Rob. i also got my new scuttle from dirty bird so i had to try it out. it held the lather nice and warm under the whole shave wow, and it matches this new tulip brush pretty good . overall it was a super nice 2 pass shave today.

As a brush user, I was wondering how you all clean your brushes after use and for longer term maintenance. I understand that you should not use hot water to rinse as it could impact on the knot's glue. I've also heard that it's beneficial to soak your brush in baby shampoo every so often. Anyone have any tips on brush care you care to share.? Thanks.

what i do when im done using a brush is cleaning the brush with perfume free soap/shampoo and then flick it a few times and then swirl the brush in a towel then hang it upside down for 24h til its dry.
