Who also owns a shop that sells, amongst other things, stands for shaving brushes.
He's a good guy and I like his videos, but he does have a vested interest.

yea youre right, although an OG youtuber and ive learnt so many things for him so hes one of my favourite youtubers,
but youre right he does advertise his shop left, right and centre, obviously cant blame him as its his channel and his space so to speak
i did post a tutorial vid of his on B&B forum then i got a PM from some mod/admin saying cant share his vids due to him not being a vendor,
i get forums need support like vendors etc but if its a tutorial vid i personally se no harm in it,
obviously you being a mod and i assume for many years you @chris.hale probably know more about behind the scenes of the forums then me
We do not have the same restrictions on links to external content that B&B does, linking that video here would be fine. Each forum has its own rules, ours tend to be on the more lenient side.

Yea I can understand if someone's blatantly advertising or even spamming but links to stuff like tutorials are beneficial
Yea you're right this place is a bit more laid back an I do like that

Not that you wouldn’t do due diligence with a cheap brush, like my PAA Atomic Rocket, but that you’d be less concerned.

I might read up on that.
I’m thinking the act of evaporation at the tip would pull the moisture not gravity but I’m sure it maybe, might, could, in a way, possibly, I’m pulling this out of my butt, help.

for anyone who's tried it out,
I'm curious how does the gillette toggle compare to the fatboy, slim and black beauty?

Even though they may not be the same internally, I find the shaves I get from my toggle, fatboy and bottom dial feel the same when set at #9. As usual YMMV applies.

When it comes to heads, the black beauty is a slim and the toggle is a fatboy. There are differences but not at the business end.
Could anyone recommend to me a razor with negative blade exposure.
I think that razors with negative blade exposure is for me to go, as I can't get a shave without that sting on post-shave. It's not technique as I don't get razor burns or anything and post-shave sting with alum and AS is managable. I just still find my shaves be tad bit on aggressive side. No matter how I go with my razors, there's always that sting. Especially on neck, jaw and moustache/mouth area.
I did bit of research and apparently negative blade exposure is good for those who has "loose" or "soft" skin. And that's what I think I have.
Only razor with negative blade exposure I know of is Tatara razors. Masamune and their adjustable versions. Great majority is either with positive or neutral exposure. But there is not much info about exposures even manufacturers websites. I was thinking about Rockwell 6s but I read that it has neutral exposure.
I do have one razor with negative exposure and that's King C Gillette that you can buy for 20 euros from everywhere. And I got much better shaves with that than with my de89 clone, but it's blade gap is quite small to be efficient enough. Same with my Gillette slim adjustable. On setting 1 exposure goes negative but gap is so small that you can't do anything with it. On my Gillette tech and de89 clone both has neutral exposures.
So I'm looking for options for new razor and Tatara masamune is pretty much only option right now.
