Nice looking soap locker, William. How do you like the performance of the vintage brush?

Ron,

The brush is pretty small and takes some work but it works well once the lather is working and its a great travel brush.

Crowne & Crane Thuringian Forest today. 20 seconds to load the Fuller/WD High Mountain brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Perma-Sharp Super in the Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Bulgari Man in Black.

Thanks for the information, Josh. I think I'm going to get two of the Maseto brushes. I want the long handled Memphis in 24mm. And I'll probably get the classic shape in 24mm. The 30mm is tempting but I think I'd find it too large. The largest brush I have is 28mm and it is a monster.

I imagine those are fine brushes as well. I'll look forward to your posts in "The Score"!

 

[jwsmith]

Fine looking high angle view of your array, Josh. I like Crowne & Crane so I'm going to have to try that Citrus Melange.

Ron, it has a beautiful, refreshing citrus scent; the performance was superb as well. I have a 3 oz puck of the Spruce and an after shave balm sample...will have to give them a go as well. To me, the Spruce smells like what I would have wanted the T&S Boreal to smell like.

Handsome display indeed. Great scales on the straight. The badger looks to be quite an efficient brush.

Thanks. The scales are beautiful, but they are celluloid. I had another Perfection in a smaller size that developed cell rot. The rot eats into the steel. I hope this pair of scales does not do that any time soon, since this is probably my favorite razor. The brush does a great job, dense and just scritchy enough to lather tough soaps.
