    Brush : Yaqi "Sagrada Familia" 22 mm 2 band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips. great splay scrubber + great lather painter. One of favorites and it is not a lather hog IMO. Small handle might not be for folks with very large hands IMO.

    Razor : Ever-Ready 1912, Mfg 1936-55 England, excellent mid range, very well designed razor and built to last with some care, very smooth this morning for a stellar shave. Very enjoyable shaves of lately with all my razors it seems!
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(4) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Razorock Classic, nice sweet almond & cherry scent with excellent lather qualities. Very nice soap + affordable.
    Brush : Yaqi "Ever helpful" 22 mm 2 band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, excellent splay scrubber, great lather painter. With the 22mm HD knot with a slightly shorter loft with this badger, might be ideally designed for the person who really enjoys the scrub but with no scritch. Very enjoyable brush to use this morning for a nice change.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Italian barber(Razorock) Amici[​IMG] with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent stellar shave with my Ever-Ready 1912 with a coated Gem blade. (It does not get much better a shave for myself.)

    Brush : Yaqi " Black marble" 24mm silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, nice gentle scrubber + excellent painter. The handle feels good in the hand and right length for this big bloomed badger brush[​IMG]. I do not think synthetic brushes can match or make or give the different face feel like a big bloomed brush like a badger silvertip IMO.

    Thanks, I like using it but I should mention that the brush is very soft when dry(comparing to my other Yaqi silvertips) but when it is wet is has a very slight prickly feel when I first used it. That skin feeling prickliness has diminished some from use and it is one of my best badger brushes. I believe the fur comes from a different species of badger in the higher elevations of China because the color of the hairs are different than my other silvertips. I really enjoy this brush also!
    (old archived photo I took for another thread on a different forum, last year talking about this brush skin feel when shaving.) You can see the different colors of the 2 Yaqi silvertips.
