The Goodwill shaves me like my LC and like the LC you have to watch the angles, for a smooth shave. Loaded a Feather blade, and checked the alignment. The Stirling is a large knot, and much longer than my WD 30/45. I soaked the brush in hot water, for a minute not knowing what to expect, and let it drip out for a few seconds while I put a dollop of cream in the wide OS mug. The Stirling whipped up the Grafton into a nice lather in no time, and I like the weight and feel of the handle. The brush is very soft on my face and neck with some good backbone for such a long knot. I use mostly creams so it works great for me. Got a nice two pass shave with some touchup on my trouble spot on my neck. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup and a shower, some JB balm, and some OS talc. Finished up with some Vintage Old Spice Lime from the '60s. If you a nice synthetic brush, I recommend this brush, as it works great, cleans up fast, and you can't beat the price. All in all a Stirling shave. Y'al have a good one!
