What is the verdict on that brush Jim?

 

Beautiful photo & lineup amigo!

 

Thank you Mark. A real compliment from TSD's "Brush Man"!

 

Thanks, Mark.

 

Weber DLC razor
Silver Star blade
Plisson/L'Occitane brush
Fume Shave Soap
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Barbasol Brisk A/S w/added menthol

The Fume lathered easily and well, giving a wonderful lather. All the other parts chipped in for a marvelous shave. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Right now the jury's still out. Plenty of backbone and scrub for me but I'm still getting used to the way it releases the lather. I haven't bowl lathered with it yet, I'll try that tomorrow morning.

I don`t know how to explain this morning`s shave, a 1 pass, WTG with a small amount of clean up can come out as well as it did. Smooth, clean and close, to come out as a BBS shave. Happy, happy camper. God Bless and great shaves to all.

How do you like the Bay Rum? As you know, with me it's a "clove" factor that helps me decide.

Post: Cold water rinse, Myrsol F.Extra ASL

I bought a couple of Vreto soaps from @DamianJ and he kindly threw some Rockwell blades in gratis.
I really like the soap, nice rich lather, pretty slick and for a vegetarian soap quite nourishing.
The scent? Well, as I'm the fourth owner of it I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. I get a nice warm, rich cigar smoke and something else I can't put my finger on, but it isn't cognac.
The blade? It seemed okay until it hit the wiry grey stubble and then it wasn't the best blade I've ever used but not the worst either.
All in all, a decent midweek shave.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Thank you Mark.

Awesome shave this morning. I got bbs smooth with 2 full passes and a clean up pass. The lounge is still a nostril burner.. lol it’s soo damn intense.. the scent isn’t bad at all if only it would have been toned down a bit..
