Nice. Very nice.

 

Yes sir, I received it yesterday. Today was its first use. And yes, the Semogue bug has landed. They just really work well for me.

 

I will be interested in hearing your impressions.......I was almost tempted!

 

I can tell you now after just one use, I love the brush and it will make a great addition to my two SOC brushes. I had one of the original LE 2011 Finest Bristle 1 brushes and sold it. The loft was just to short for me, especially since I lather in a scuttle and not on my face.

 

I don't get it either. If I fart in close proximity to Mystic Water soap, it lathers. For the next 24 hours, if there's any member here as of this post that cannot get MW to lather, I will buy it from you.

 

Floid Blue makes everything better.

 

Saturday, March 30, 2012 - Midday Shave

Prep :: Warm water wetdown
Razor :: BRW Weber
Blade :: Super Iridium
Soap :: RazoRock King Louis (Face Loaded)
Brush :: Bill Jack Badger
Post :: Alum, Cold water rinse, WH & Rosewater
AS :: TSD Milk and 4711

This is the first time I've shaved on a weekend in YEARS. Add to that, this wasn't a midnight shave and my world is in chaos.

I've got so much soap and razors I want to get thru, that I think I'm going to start shaving every day instead of every other day. My sweet bride will think I'm steppin' out on her.

Have a great weekend, friends!
