    I got a very nice shave this morning, I'm gonna call it BBS, can't find a rough patch anywhere. My Boar brush is really starting to break in, too. Happy Friday all!

    Went back to the Plisson? I don't blame you, it's probably one of the best brushes on the market.

    JR, the Omega 10066 is a great brush! I'm glad to see you sticking with it. Enjoy.

    Troy,
    I'll be getting the Blackbird towards the end of February, income tax refund :) I'm going raw long handle. Can't wait.

    Prep: Hot Shower. Noxzema
    Razor: Gillette Flare Tip Super Speed 1959 E1
    Blade: Personna Lab Blue
    Lather: Route 66 Retro Spice
    Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic Marble Handle

    Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Shady Past. Route 66 Retro Spice aftershave lotion.
    Fantastic shave. The more I use this Flare Tip the more I'm sold on the milder razors, which only means that I've finally figured out how to use my tools. TTT. I love Route 66 Retro Spice! Such an awesome scent, so slick that my blade glides across my face. Fabulous skincare. The Maggard synthetic has that custom look and feel. Shady Past was a nice change this morning. Route 66 Retro Spice aftershave lotion is going to be a huge hit!!

    I am thinking exactly the same thing. What kind of bike do you ride?

    Oh! I didn't know that Tapatalk would allow access to the iPhone emojis. Very cool. :happy088: Thanks, brother.

    I did a lot of research before buying, it got great reviews. I do want a plisson synthetic or shave revolution whenever they are available again. But I do really like this omega!

    I'm really excited about it. You were the deciding factor with your review. Thank you!!

    It's the best brush under $10, as far as synthetic brushes go you won't go wrong with either the RazoRock Plissoft or the new Maggard synthetic. Both are fantastic.

    I too have been following Troy's and Mark's reviews on the Blackbird. I had planned to order another Wolfman which was my exception to joining the NB 2016. I might consider getting the Blackbird instead.
