    Default New +$100 shaving brush and now my razors are dull.

    Question for beginners.

    I have a new +$100 shaving brush and now my razors are dull.
    What did I do wrong?

    Old timers give the not so old time to think about this.

    Teaching by quizzing perhaps... First a question then some thought
    and since I do not know all the answers others can make fun of me when I tell
    what solution I found.

    I don't think I know the answer, but I'm still willing to try to make fun of you anyway.

    Come one guys, it's time for wild speculation!!!

    What kind of toxic shave soap are you using?

    I cant see the brush making a differance in your skin or turning your wiskers to hard steel.
    Im stumped besides the soap but thats just my off the wall guess.

    Real brainteaser........

    I'd guess your old brush was a stiff boar and loaded lots of soap to make for a great lather.

    Your new brush is a super soft and floppy badger and is not loading enough soap.

    The result: your lather with the +$100 is thin and watery by comparison to the boar. So now your razors are not cushioned and lubed well enough and feel blunter.

    OP was totally channeling a very cool, intense mushroom trip - and has now completely forgot what he was thinking.

    However, I do have the answer, and it is:

    You spent too much time and money acquiring new stuff instead of learning how to maintain a razor. (If you was a beginner)
