Hi all,
I have been wet shaving for 10+ years, and I've been re-evaluating my equipment and how I have been doing things.
- I have transitioned from creams (such as TOBS) to soap (ie Haslinger) and looking for more environmentally friendly options (i'm not an environmentalist, but I am conscious of plastic use etc).
- I prefer to load my brush first, then continue onto the face and face lather
- I like to swirl the brush into my face and 'scrub' while building up the lather
- I don't have sensitive skin or any difficulties with shaving, I have every 2 days, sometimes daily
- Razor of choice is the Muhle R41 with Astra SP
I currently have two brushes:
1. Muhle Silvertip Badger Traditional chrome brush
2. Semogue 2-band Badger brush, resin handle
I have been considering either a Simspon Trafalgar T2 or a Semogue special edition S.O.C. Boar Shaving Brush in Cherrywood handle.
I understand there is a break in period and boar behaves very differently to badger which I have been used to for 10 years. I have a Muhle travel synthetic brush which I use exclusively when travelling, but I dislike how it 'clumps' on the face.
I am undecided on what to get next, and would like to add a third brush to my line up.
Many thanks for your help.
