After 8 days "Straight" I (sort of ) broke with Fidelity. I still used the 5/8 Thiers Issard Super "Gnome" and the TABAC Shaving Soap...and I technically DID use a Plisson brush...Not the #12 HMW, but a recent ebay purchase. A what appears to be #10 Plisson purchased according to it's previous owner in Cannes , France Circa 1973. gave it a good shampoo and used it. (The previous owner must have used it extensively with Williams Mug Soap as it had that scent upon arrival). It reads Pur Blaireau and has the old time Plisson Script still barely visible. A nice brush...but not nice enough to unseat the HMW as champion!
