For many cartoonists, part of the process is the search to find the ultimate pencil or pen.  Cartoonists draw with, and try, many different kinds of drawing instruments.  With each new acquisition, we have hope that it will breath new life into our artwork.  Or, perhaps, help us to work faster with better results.

So it is with the traditional wet shave.  Many wet shavers enjoy the process so much, they invest in new razors, brushes, soaps, and creams in looking for the ultimate shave.  And since, returning to wet shaving, I’ve dabbled a bit in giving various razors, brushes, etc. a test drive.  Some razors are mild, some aggressive, and still others prove to be somewhere in-between.  But with each new piece of gear, the shave improves, something new is learned,  and the process is refined.

Luckily, along with Amazon.com, there are lots of online retailers who specialize in wet shaving gear.  So, I went online and finally ordered from Maggard Razors. (https://www.maggardrazors.com/)

I purchased a new razor head for a spare handle I’ve had laying about.  And I also picked up a Semogue boar brush.

I’ll give the V3 a test drive and report back with a performance review.  I’m told it’s a bit more aggressive than what I usually use.

The Semogue Boar Brush is quite nice. So far, it promises to be a nice addition to my shaving gear.
