The little ""Vie Long brush is made of European Badger, only Plisson and this spanish brand use this hair, is a bit stiffer than chinese badger, but the tips are soft, a good brush for soaps and face lathering....The olivewood handle is nice

The last Semogue LE is in B&B and showing how photogenic it is !!!!

Baknip, Vasco and Eelco, well done! I like those pics!

Wanted to "use up" the blades currently in two injectors, before moving on to other razors.
Schick L1 injector
CVS blade (5th shave)
VdH soap
Vulfix badger
Another DFS
 
Proraso pre
EJ BBB
R89 with feather (7)
Taylor's Almond sc
Clinique asb
Kiehl's musk oil

Another lovely, close, gentle shave from the R89. Finally found the limit of the Feather as it started to drag and give me some irritation on the 7th shave (been doing 2 passes with these rather than my usual 3).
