Results: I finally received my Thäter brush yesterday and gave it a nice shampoo/cleaning http://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...l/thumbsup.gif. And what better way to inaugurate her maiden voyage than with the "Best of the Best":tu. The soft bristles made some scrumptious lather out of the TOBS/MdC combo and the prep felt unconditionally fantastic to the skinhttp://badgerandblade.com/vb/images/...ys/001_wub.gif. I can confidently say that this Thäter is probably the best brush in my collection. The ergonomics are just spot on (way to go with the design Max). I literally spent 3 minutes on my face for the first pass. What a beautiful and lovely shave. The Maxtom did what the Maxtom was designed to do, i.e., eliminate pesky little whiskers with effortless ease and zero discomfort:tu. I am ready to be seen in public again. |
