Great shave this Monday afternoon.

I did what I said I was NOT going to do. I purchased another synthetic brush.

Heck, it got good reviews. It was also a bit shorter in length - So it had a bit more backbone, and it would not be a painter.

I later found out that they are made in China...which bothers me, as I do not want to support that country.

But I got it for dirt cheap, so that’s a bit of a consolation for me. And I learned my lesson to ALWAYS check for the country of origin next time. (The name initially sounded Polish or Israeli to me).

Anyhoo...I pulled-out the nearly 200-year old Wade & Butcher, and paired it with B&M’s “The Full Measure of Man”.

A total face and head lather. No bowl today.

Great shave.

The brush is actually super nice, and the lather was exceptional, as always.

Super nice shave again.

What a great shave.
Very pleased with the rice serum and of course this version of the shave butter with the amazing vetimore scent makes this feel like a level up moment.
Of course the Stirling Stainless efficiency puts this shave in the Straight Razor BBS Category.
