This is a big factor for me in enjoying Simpson synthetic knots. When they are loaded up plump, they splay like a dream and feel nearly identical to a good badger. I do not think “Soap Misers” will especially enjoy this brush. IMO, If it is not well loaded, it is hard to splay, and has too much backbone.
Living large! Reminds me that I will have to figure out something similar to do with a one kilo brick of Cella sometime soon...
Gillette Red Tip Feather Semogue 2000 Iced Mandarin Arko Superior 70 Back at it with the Arko today, I am guessing I have another month plus of shaves left in this stick...
I find SE razors work better on my lower right neck than DE razors since they get the job done with less effort. Thank you Jared. My wife is telling me I will be the one that misses them most. We will see.
November 22 SOTD: PAA Atomic Rocket Brush Crown King Atomic Age Bay Rum Schick Type D Crown King Atomic Age Bay Rum AS I started with a nice relaxing shave this morning as I had gotten up before the rest of the house to get a quick work out, shower, and shave in. My 21 month old woke up just as I started shaving, so I had to rush to get her before my wife woke up. I did only one pass, which got me a SAS this morning. The soap seemed to be quite good, as did the razor. The scent of this soap is unlike any other Bay Rum I have, and I really like it. The AS smells terrific and feels good on the face. Second day off this week, and it will be busy getting ready for tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great day!
Wednesday morning November 22 - Simpsons all around Rockwell 6S on plate #3 / Topaz Platinum (2) Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic brush Simpsons Peppermint & Rosemary shaving cream Alum & Clubman Osage Rub I broke in the new Simpsons synthetic brush this morning. I wet the brush with hot water and then dipped the tips in the cream (as the Simpsons instructions for the brush and cream said to do). I then face lathered, using painting strokes mainly, also as recommended by Simpsons. I guess the cream is fairly concentrated as claimed, because the brush quickly started to work up a decent face covering for me. I ended up with three good passes of lather with at least another pass or two worth in the brush when I squeezed it out at the end. The brush was pillowy soft and really did feel like my badgers. The cream has a great peppermint scent. I don't detect the rosemary individually in it, but I think it might be there as a sort of herbal base deepening the peppermint. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. It had a very very mild cooling effect as well. A full three passes, the baby showed up to be put to work contrary to the infant labour laws, and the alum reported absolutely no irritation. I have no postshave products that exactly match this scent, so I went with matching the cooling minty part and splashed on a tiny dash of Osage Rub. At the amount of Osage Rub I need to freeze my face each time, this bottle is going to last me until 2030... Have a great day, everyone! And to all you Americans who don't know when Thanksgiving should properly be celebrated, Happy Thanksgiving holiday coming up!
