Thanks Kevin. I do like the feel of the brush in hand and the Black Wolf knot is an outstanding synthetic.
SOTD June 24th, 2019 Soaked my brush while in a very hot shower Homemade pre-shave oil (Sandalwood and Oakmoss) Soap: Henry Cavendish Lavender Razor: Vikings Blade Emperor Augustus Blade: Feather Hi-Steel Brush: Handmade Silvertip Badger Post: Proraso Alum Block A/S: Homemade Bay Rum aftershave Two passes, one WTG and one ATG. Very relaxing! Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk
I haven't tried a synthetic yet, I'm an old school old fart lol. They lather decently? Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk
Synthetics are certainly different. Once mastered, I have found them to lather as well as natural knots. Synthetics are available at very good prices from Yaqi and Italian Barber as well as others. Give one a try.
Parker Slant & Feather Hi-Stainless Graydog 26mm Badger/Chechen Taconic Lavender/Lime shave cream (sample) Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla w/Mentolado 70 LEA Classic a/s Locion An excellent shave with my first ever slant. 2 pass plus a chin buff and I called it. Deliciously smooth but an efficient performer loaded with the Feather. Who would of thought for a measly $30 usd? A wonderful evening and shaves to all....
