Last of the observations this morning. Finishing off with the VDH is really going back to basics but in a good way. The VDH is readily available most anywhere for a very reasonable (aka cheap) price. It definitely gets the job done. I loaded the brush very heavy (that's just my preference) and got a dense shinny lather that stayed moist during the passes. (I reload the brush between passes; told ya I like a loaded brush!) lol The cushion and glide was adequate and very similar to the Classic Shaving Soap I used yesterday. The lather set up the beard and protected the skin from the razors edge. The glide was steady and smooth without hesitation and dragging. For the basic shaving soap that does the job, you can't beat VDH's bang for the buck. BTW, the Semogue 1460 Boar brush is getting softer and sweeter every time I use it. The size is a little small for everyday use but, I actually bought it due to it smaller size to fit into my travel tube in my ditty-bag. The W & B Celebrated I honed the other day is excellent! After this mornings shave I couldn't find a whisker standing anywhere. A truly slick BBS shave! Great shaves shown by all the week Gentlemen! Have a great day.
