SOTD "Italian Soaps" Theme Week 1-7 December 2014

[eezee]

What a nifty little brush! Never seen nothing like that!

I got the idea from a guy on the Facebook group "The Big Shave." His name is Anthony Esposito. He doesn't like synthetic brushes but tried this little brush as a shave brush. It is sold at Target for $7 and is marketed as a cosmetic brush by E.L.F. It did okay. I normally bowl lather creams and I used this little guy to face lather. It is VERY soft but has decent backbone. I'll try it with a soap and see how that goes. For $7 you can't lose even if you don't like it!!

Nice Photos Everyone!

Nice ones for the 1st wave!

Hi Murray: NOLES -3.5 points... it's going to be a close one. Hope my NOLES pull it off.

WARHAWK

What! I'd say the Noles are +7pts. While I'm a Jackets fan, the Noles have good depth.

Am I off-topic???

Ahhh, yes, makeup brush! Dang, I got dragged in that aisle tonight, I shoulda looked around. I love finding uses for things that aren't meant for what I'm doing. Found a way cool glass Maple Syrup bottle tonight and thought 'hey, excellent Aqua Velva bottle!'

This was supposed to be my shave yesterday morning. A late change to plans meant I wasn't able to do it before I had to go out. I was also too tired to do it when I got home last night so it becomes todays shave.
