Thank you.

No, it is not, my friend. I was curious about a few of the newer synthetic knots that are being offered, so I bought three brushes from AP Shaving, but they have all disappointed compared to my Chubby 2 synthetics.
You have to experiment to learn.

 

sorry they weren t so good for you, i think the handle color is cool, no longer available either..

 

I hear you, loud and clear!! I am going through the EXACT same thing with a couple of soaps.

I continue my difficult journey with SE razors. This shave ended up ok but getting there was not a lot of fun. And there was blood (not much) which is never good especially when you use blood thinners. I'll try SE's all week to see if it gets better, I hope so. Now go enjoy your day folks

I knew this blade had a number of shaves on it, but decided to use it on a six day growth. No tugging, but you could tell on the first pass that this was going to be it's last shave. Did a complete three pass shave and still managed to get a nice BBS shave.
