and...

My new Shavemac 177 silvertip that came in from Jim at vintage blades today. I have to say, this brush is lovely. A little on the small side at 23mm, but I wanted a smaller brush. I love how dense it is, and the size make it really easy to work with. My C&E EJ super badger, is about a 27mm, and a little floppy. It is a nice brush, but I am afraid that it now sits second to this little beauty of a brush. It may just be me, but it seemed to take and hold the heat better from the scuttle then my other brush. I think it's because it's denser. Anyway, I love this brush and I am looking forward to using it with the soaps and creams I have coming from Colleen and the Ayer's bowl I have coming from Sara. As usual, always a pleasure dealing with Jim.

The wedge gave a very nice shave. It's my heaviest blade currently and it was really fun to do some mowing with a weighty piece of sharp steel. I can't find any information on the maker but Joe really did a number on this baby. Very fun shave this morning - I was excited about trying it out.
