It is definitely nice, not sure how I like the soft bristles, feel better but I also feel (probably all perception) that I have to do a lot more work to agitate the whiskers.
So tonight I shaved with the sample pack from Art of Shaving and honestly loved it. Best shave and post-shave ever. I think the main key was the pre-shave oil, something I have never used. Any recommendations for something similar, affordable, that I should pickup?
