    Ditto! Not sure why, but I like the boar brushes best. They just don't seem to get the 'handle love' (see what I did there) that the Synthetics and Badger brushes do.

    And....:thanks: @jluc the ENABLER (with many of you a close second :signs136:).... I've seen this handle on Etsy....just never with the knot I want. Now...on it's way.

    Hotel shave. Brought along my Fat Friday setup to use until Saturday. Wonderful lather and easy shaving. I'm about to go to an early lunch and then off to activities for the rest of the day. Hard to keep up with the thread! Keep up the great shaves everyone.

    Enjoy your day!

    The Nivea stick is actually very good. I don't think it was made with intentions to lather with a brush, but it nonetheless creates a rich, slick, stable lather not unlike Palmolive or Wilkinson Sword or other shave sticks. The slickness is actually top notch. I was very surprised with the quality of it. It quickly went out of production and was a complete failure for Nivea so you'd have to pick one up on clearance somewhere.

    Cool shave Gary!
    Thanks Terry!
    It works, that's all that matters!
    Beautiful shot Patrick!
    At 30 shaves per blade two tucks will last you almost two years!
    Awesome shot Jim!
    Very nice Jim! The Maseto brushes are another brand that perform way above their price point!
    Beautiful shot Clint!
    Excellent shave Joseph! How about a lather shot next time you use NO?
    That's a beauty Jim! Your getting to the point, like me, where your brush rotation is more then a month without a repeat.
    Excellent shave Blair!
    Awesome shot Perry! I'm surprised to see you lathering The Fat with something other then your big Omega boar.
