I don't know why I keep playing around with other brushes. The badger may hold more water and have nicer looking lather, but in terms of the feel on my face there is no comparison. The boar is firm, but just seems to caress my skin. Never floppy, never scritchy, always perfect. The Trig blade was pretty meh, nothing special for me anyway. The soap was great, I give the Stirling more credit than the Col Conk.

This Turkish soap is really good, and really cheap, so it deserves a try. As for the Weber, it is very smooth to my skin, but it cuts the beard very efficiently.

I cannot make up my mind which soap is colder between Yeti Snot and Stirling Glacial. My goodness, they're both so freezing that it's unreal. This shave was enough to give a man frostbite!
