Day 18 Raw-diggity-Hoggin this brush. Honestly I can’t tell a difference in this brush for the past week. Is it broken in? I guess so. Is it still necessary to soak the brush for a few minutes before the shave, once it is broken in? That’s really the only part that is getting old for me. I’m just used to getting my synths good and wet under the water, then going to town.

This Gem is still feeling perfect. From what I remember, it is going much better this year. Last year I palm stropped the blade, and flipped the blade every shave. This year I flipped the blade once, but other than that I only open it up to let it air dry. This is not a very scientific experiment. But it seems to me palm stropping and flipping doesn’t really help 🤷🏻‍♂️.
