I was delighted to find a package from West Coast Shaving at my door today, as it contained these fine items:
So as you can imagine, I immediately retreated into my den for some shaving and general brush play! I think this sequence of smilies most adequately expresses the series of reactions associated with the first-time experience of opening the Wee Scot box, and then shaving with it:
I know everyone says it.. but hot diggity this little tuft makes a LOT of lather! I had the Duke on standby, cause I (foolishly) thought I might run out of lather before the shave was done. Well sir! Wee Scot and Tabac tag-teamed my face and showed me what was what! Now I couldn't let the Duke feel left out, so I had to lather him up and do three no-blade passes to keep things fair.
Here's them, still a little damp from the shave, with the brush I been using for almost a year now, my first badger brush, a Pure grey badger brush from Fendrihan.
I have to say, the difference between Pure and Simpson Best is astonishing. Their performance, right out of the box, blew me away. Both of these brushes are smaller than my Fendrihan brush (23mm knot & 53mm loft, compared to the Duke 1 at 19mm/46mm and the Wee Scot at 14mm/35mm), but BOTH of them put out much more lather! The feel is much nicer too, noticeably softer tips without sacrificing any backbone or scrubbing ability.
Suffice it to say that I am now a Simpson fan for life!
