I haven't found a badger I have liked yet. Boar is my favorite. In the poor rodents defense I have only used 2 badger brushes. I'm found of the unlovable Gen 1 synthetic too.
Just ordered some RazoRock La Famiglia soap. Also picked up this Treet SE, just because I liked the look.
Picked up a lot of four old brushes (the travel brush in front is not included), going to give me some projects to work on over the next few months:
I'm waiting on a Single Edge stainless injector, should be here March of 2016. Only a couple of days.
Heljestrand & Engstrom Straight's... Another shot.. lastly.. I bought these pair of Swedish pieces of shaving iron from a fellow forum member for a real good price...He bought them in Sweden at the Factory Museum and he has been using them until a year ago....I have just jumped into another Rabbit Hole...Don't know what models they are at this time...Will have to do some research after I get them...Delighted.... Billy...
Connaught came through with some rather good deals again. Bought: Two bottles of Mitchells Wool Fat Hand Was a 300ml each, and Two tubes of Speick Men Active shaving cream a 75ml each. Total cost for all four items: $17 including shipping.
My new 150ish year old straight. It's an all original unrestored J. Wostenholm EBRO wedge in excellent condition. Between 6 and 7/8's. Made ~1865 (+/- 5 years). The scales are in great shape, and it's never been unpinned or repined. Not polished, but has honest patina.
Gingers Garden aftershave OakMoss. I ordered a French cream/soap from Bullgoose? RazoRock synthetic brush and a soap. Dr. Jon's soap! Very excited about that! Something else but I've forgotten
I'm still waiting on my order from Larry at Whipped dog. It was a poormans flawed strop kit, a sample of MWF and a synthetic brush in I think 20mm with a burgundy handle. Also waiting on some straight razor blades that need lots of love to be great again and a shave ready straight from a fellow forum member.
