The Saponificio Varesino, Pewter Crown, Bog Wood brush with Hand-tied 26mm 2-band High Mountain Manchurian White Badger Knot is a true high end, top tier brush!
They absolutely live up to the reviews.It’s also quite a mouthful!
They're gorgeous brushes though and I've heard nothing but rave reviews.
My pleasure! I'll be there again today.

The GTC is officially my favorite handle.
Is that the Bronze?
That is one gorgeous handle.
I was thinking about finishing out the month with the Envoy. The Rex Envoy has a broad range of uses. However, my 1940’s Tech seems to be hitting in the target zone producing very good shaves.20220827

The Rudy Vey 2022 B&B Contributors Brush is one of my favorites! Exceptional performance!
Love Cyril R. Salter Tub Creams. The Indian Sandalwood scent is outstanding. Great lather, slickness and face feel. Highly recommended!

Old Spice Classic is a venerable aftershave with great performance and scent! My face is very happy! Applied Pino Silvestre Oud Absolute EdT Spray to finish things off. Very satisfying combination!
Superb top tier shave!
Funny you should say that. I'm going with my English Flat Bottom Tech for the next couple (at least) days.
I think that SEptember is going to be an outstanding month of shaves.
