I recently turned one of my lady friends onto DE shaving ( couldn't talk her into a straight :boohoo:), but I set her up with a 28mm brush that I made for her from here:
28mm Silvertip Badger Hair Knot 28mm silvertip badger hair knot, wholesale pricing [28MMSILVERTIP] - $23.95 : Fountain Pen parts - NIBS, - Wholesale Fountain Pen Ink - Golden Nib AZ
and a tub of MammaBears Awakenings. The soap lathers fast, and the large brush holds a TON of soap. She's as happy as can be.
