I received my 30 DC LE brush in the mail today from
@jtspartan and huge thanks go out to him for the idea and execution of some very fine shaving brushes! It's a gorgeous brush and I'm proud to be a part of this fine group that now has its own unique and limited edition brush. Excellent work. Also, a huge shout out and thanks to whichever of the elves on here paid for my brush. The generosity of this group and the spirit of brotherhood on here makes this a very special place on the web indeed. No place like it that I know. That goes for the Shave Den as a whole, and an extra measure of that for the 30DC.
In honor of this fine brush I decided to do an all gift shave again, using the brush, my Delta Echo New LC raffle win, and the Truefitt & Hill 1805 soap. I figured the Tuxedo knot could use some British class to break it in as well.
I have learned that synthetic knots are great face latherers and seem to load so much faster than any other brush. This one is no exception. A bit more backbone than the WCS brush and even more than the Maggard knot in the JR46, but it feels great and produced lather in no time. I let the New and the best Russian steel on the planet give the lather a workout and it had no issues at all. Slick and nice and the scent is really nice. My wife loves it as well so that helps.
Two passes and a touch up and the baby is in the house. One of those shaves that reminds you why this is so much fun and satisfying all at once. A further comment on the brush - I love the feel of the handle. It has good length without being too long. Again, nicely done. Between this brush and the Jayaruh #46 I am going to be extremely spoiled.
