or,,,,,,,,,

Van Der Hagen Shave Set, 4 pc - Walmart.com

Funny, I went to walmart earlier today and checked out that kit. Opened the box, felt the brush, etc. I think I'm going to get it, but I wanted to shop around before I did. I did however, buy a puck of van der hagen scented luxury shave soap while I was there....but it is in a green box. Why do you recommend against the green box one? O_O

Also ironic; I stopped at CVS on the way home and checked this one out as well. I wasn't fond of the handle-less cup and lack of a stand.

I already have a Black Ralf Aust - Solingen 5/8" coming in the mail.

Is badger the stiffest bristled brush? I figure I'll end up buying the walmart kit and replacing the brush eventually.
