Hi Nick. Real good soap and razor it seems. You know I`ve watched guys (and I`ve done it myself) roll their hand across a dry brush. The bristles being dry are probably quite brittle and maybe more apt to break and this may be one reason a brush might shed more hairs. Just a thought. Thanks for the video.👍

In the last 2 months I have bought 100 Astra SP blades, Proraso Red soap, a Semogue 830, and I have some Thayers Witch Hazel coming tomorrow. I have never enjoyed shaving as much as I am now. I'm still getting some slight irritation on the back lower part of my neck (hairs growing in all kind of damn directions). Other than that things are pretty good. I was using Feather blades before I got the Astras and I have noticed less irritation after switching. I'm looking forward to trying Stirling since I've heard nothing but good things about it.

The Semouge 830 is great face lathering brush. I was surprised how soft it was even before I broke it in. Its getting better at keeping lather for multiple passes as it breaks in. Love the clear handle and the groves it has make it comfortable to grip. The only thing I didn't like was the cheap Semouge sticker on the handle I took it off with some acetone. It's a shame that yours is losing hair mine has lost some here and there nothing noticable.

Question 1. Which brush do you prefer to, Semogue 830 or 1305? Recently I purchased 1305 and did break-in, lathering and rinse off, then in cold water jar brush knot level in refrigerator one night. But when I checked it next morning, the handle was cracked. The sellor informed me that temperature change quick technique is nonsense and makes the brush worse and handke crack. How about the acryl handle 830? No cracking problem in soaking before use? Question 2. Compared to adjustable one plate razor like Merkur futur, progress etc, Rockwell 6C(3 plates hand change) is not a bit hassle? I'm on the fence of Merkur 34C HD, Rockwell 6C or other one plate twist adjustable razor. Which one do you recommend for me(mild, everyday shaver, not so many beard). Thanks! I enjoy your contents and they are big help for me.

That's correct, you see the number on the bottom as it is assembled. Otherwise you would have to take it apart to see what plate you have. For example, I use the 4 plate and the other side is 2. Once the razor is together you should see the number 4 on the bottom of the plate.
