Thread: New brush is a big improvement

Here's a picture of what I have been using. This is what happens when your razor arrives and you're not fully prepared. Nice and practical with a good 37mm broad head. Note the 'pure bristles', I do have some standards. The photograph really doesn't do this fine example justice. I think the sepia tone is the issue, it just doesn't show up the rust spots. Was a real wife pleaser in the communal wash space I can tell you. But despite my strong emotional ties, it is my first brush after all, it was time for a change.



And here's what my lovely wife has switched me to (there's a moral to this story, I just know it...). Found gathering dust in a small independent pharmacy with an old price tag. Been there years according to the assistant; I think this counts as a rescue. First shave with it and loved the feel of working that lather into the face. Looks great on the shelf. Everyone's happy. Brilliant.



Kent BK2

It gets better the more you use it.

Apis,

And I thought Americans were masters of improvisation. Oh well, if the brush fits, shave with it.

On a more serious note...That's a beautiful Kent BK2. Congratulations on your new shaving brush acquisition. Its well-deserved.

Kent looks great,but I bet that Boar paint brush worked

At first I thought you were just going to put a new knot on the original handle. I'm a little disappointed but I do like the new one.

Well it is apparent from your post you favor smaller knots,
I was going to suggest this 5x15 horse hair model

What do you do with that?
Build lather in a salad bowl and face plant in it....
Nice!

Wow.

This is a bit personal, so don't answer if you don't want to. Just how big is your chin?

I now have a new ambition, but first I'm going to need a bigger bathroom...

Not a user,I just made it for fun
