Thinking of Jeff Greene as the Ronson is one of his favorites and now after my first shave I know why. It's an efficient Beast that if you pay attention will reward you with a glass smooth shave. I hope he is well and getting better. The 1st use of the Shave Forge Boar leaves me with grave concerns over whether it will make the cut. I may need to just put a cashmere knot in this handle even though I really wanted to keep it authentic and original. As Fuzzy Wchnu says, shedding a hair is no big deal but I don't think any of us shed like this and I have zero patience for it when it is to this extent. Pics include the after loading the brush and doesn't include the 6 or more pulled out of the soap bowl, the rest are separate strokes and NOT the same pic at different angles. If this shed 1 hair it shed 30 JUST during this shave.........Have a Stellar Day Guys and Gals !!
That's not normal, I have several Shave Forge knots in use and eight more waiting to be used, two or three hairs for the first couple of uses and then rarely lose one.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.
