random things from ilya

If you see me, you probably wouldn’t think so, but i am a bit of a shaving geek. I really like to shave. But because i take so much pleasure in it, it don’t do it everyday, that is why i often have a pretty significant stubble.. 

If you change anything about your shave setup, use a real brush.

Don’t use pig-whiskers though, they won’t contain enough water to really lather you up.  Nothing beats badger hair. It will give you a bit of a problem though, because it seems badger is considered a protected animal….

Mine is a Merkur silver tip satin finish. It is really nice and heavy, pure stainless steel. The satin finish makes a bit aluminum looking, which i like. The bristles are SUPER soft, and really soak up the hot water.
