I'm not sure what is more impressive,
the great shaving setups you guys have, or the quality and staging of your pictures. Nice work.
I'm getting some real shaving products for Christmas, so maybe I'll post on here eventually.

You took the whole pamper yourself concept up a notch.
How do you like the longer slimmer brush handle for making a lather?

Because I have a big hand, a such handle is just perfect: the end of the handle rests against my palm, while the fingers rest firmly into the collar. In this simple way I have full control in terms of pressure, swirl motion etc. It's simply great to use.



Edwin Jagger had the Edwardian line some years ago, I think is now discontinued, and that brush had the same principle. Bearing in mind the first brushes looked like a paint brush, it make sense why. Besides, I like my shaving to be functional, pleasurable and artistic in the same time and this addresses equally the razor, brush, soap and aftershave (performance, perfuming ...you name it). Centuries ago, life was short and they made most out of it in any aspect. Why wouldn't I do the same ?....sorry, got carried away.
