I haven't kept with what should have been my posts here. I've been using one of 5 badger brushes I have for every single shave. This wasn't a sacrifice for me. In a regular month, my badgers are what I choose to use. I like the face feel better than brushes I own.
Today, I used one of my two SV 2.0 Cocobolo handle Manchurian brushes. Today it was the first one I purchased: the one with the silver, pewter crown. What a nice experience.

BADGERary
Tech Tuesday
Razor: Korean War Tech
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Brush: Torga Mistura C3
Soap: SV 70th
ASL: Pinaud Clubman
I would be remiss if I didn't get my Korean War Tech out of the garage to finish up BADGERary after my other techs had a chance to strut their stuff.
My Y2 Tech has a magnetic baseplate because there was a shortage of brass during the Korean Conflict and it is made of steel.
Only my Prewar Tech has a smaller gap, but even so, this is the mildest Tech I have, so I afforded it a two pass, WTG, ATG shave.
This razor definitely rewards short, quick almost chopping strokes to get the maximum efficiency with it. Long slow sweeping strokes will leave you with plenty of stubble for the next pass, and the next, and the next.
Two passes and most of my face and neck is smooth, only the hollows under my jawline feel rough. I'm sure that with four passes I could get a better result, but that's not gonna happen. I wouldn't need to shave for three days.
My Semogue C3 Mistura has really impressed me as it continues to get better with each use, it is easily my favorite Semogue, and sits proudly next to my Black Omega Silvertip.
The Witch hazel felt nice and smooth, the Clubman made me feel like a woman's man, and the Nivea balm sealed the deal.
It was a nice shave, and the Y2 is going back in the garage.
Have some Great Shaves

Doug.... I have 3 other SV 2.0 brushes... I hate to let the one I bought from you go.... but I needed to fund a Wolfman so some sacrifices had to be made. It wasn't an easy decision....
Oh... and congrats on your new WR2 1.25 Wolfman... I hope it is perfect for you.
Thanks I appreciate it
Late post, but these were the brushes I used for Badgeuary.
