Just an incredible shave this late afternoon.

Pulled-out the screaming sharp Koraat, and matched it with B&M’s “Leviathan”.

Used my funky, synthetic, Chinese-made brush...and it was an incredible shave!

I dislike that Chinese-made brush sooooo much, that I’m gonna bore a small hole at the base of the brush to remove the “Yaqi” name, and cover it with a quarter...or something. (I didn’t know it was “Made in China” until I purchased it, and it was in its way to me).

But overall, the brush works nicely. A bit stiff (heavy backbone), but it works fine.

Anyhoo...what a cracee, baby butt smooth, shave.

It was a great head and face shave!
