    I've thought about Flitz, but it would probably remove the matte finish.

    I believe the horn on the left is the same brush. It’s been dubbed the Poor Man’s Chubby. Fantastic brush with a lot of scrub and backbone. Typical feel of most best badger, but way more backbone. Not as soft as Simpson Best, per se. Like an Omega boar straight out of the box. Softens with some use, but is always going to be scrubby.

    My opinion is that most horse hair is like pure badger. It’s soft because of lack of backbone. The short lofted whites are the best. (For me.)

    The butterscotch is a a little softer knot that I bought as an Epsilon???? That one is the best horse brush I’ve ever owned. Backbone, and it really softened up.

    Thank you Bruce. The Karve is developing a nice patina. It will be interesting to compare how much when the new plates arrive next week.

    I've never used a Cape Cod cloth, but I've read on watch forums that it will eventually polish away a brushed finish. I suppose it's a matter of how often and/or how aggressively you use it.

    Soap Commander has been hanging on in my top three for years. Performance is right up there, but not sure anyone has them beat for face feel, post shave.

    Bee-u-tee-ful photo, Jim!! Is the soap more lavender than peppermint, or does the peppermint take over the lavender?

    That's kinda what I guessed. I was hoping it would be the other way around, but maybe that's a blessing...it's one less soap I need to acquire. :)
