Never got more than 20 shaves from a Personna 74. I did get 30 shaves from a Wilkinson Chromium (Light Brigade).
Eloquent post. I have never seen nor heard of the 4711 soap. Can you post an ingredient list, when you have an opportunity?

Tabac Thursday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Tabac Shave Soap Jayaruh #340 Badger Kampfe/Star Lather Catcher CVS CS CWR Tabac My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 badger brush. I did two passes with the Kampfe/Star Lather Catcher razor with a CVS CS blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Schick M1 Adjustable Personna blade Maison Lambert Silver Tip brush Arko SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Barbasol Brisk A/S Arko gives a great looking/feeling lather but I can't seem to get the shave I want with it. Like it has to much cushion. Have tried different lathering i.e. more/less water, etc. Not sure what to do about it. Now go enjoy your day folks.
A cheap brush which you should get rid of! But... remember recycling: here we are well organized for badger hair and resin! If I can be of any help...
