Great Shave,

I really like the D01 Hair grade from Shavemac, to me...it is a little finer and softer than the standard silvertip hair but is very resilient and has a bit of a different color that the silvertip....it looks a little more tannish yellow. The loft on this brush is like a Hybrid between a fan and bulb shaped loft...very nice....a great brush :happy005

Wednesday 11/5 . . .

• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Soap: The "FAT"
  [*]Razor: '22 Gillette NEW Standard - silver for face & Bic Sensitive for head
  [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (shave 7)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & C&E Sienna ASB
  [*]EDT: 4711 Cologne
  
  [*]Result: A wonderful BBS shave today. After two days with a sore neck from the first shave with my Valet Auto Strop it was great to be able to do my oil pass and get my usual BBS shave. The "FAT" was just grand today. I think I hit the jackpot with the soap/water ratio today. A great slick & cushioning lather made this shave the utmost.

To be honest, all of the Witch Hazels with alcohol seem the same to me. This one just has a cool bottle that's smaller and fits in my cabinet better. The Thayers with no alcohol and aloe vera is nicer IMO.
