Dear B&B Friends,
I have recently celebrated my fifth month of DE shaving. I wanted to get myself a gift and could not wait around for my sixth month anniversary.
I have been using an EJ 89 which is wonderful.
I have been using creams exclusively (mainly TOBS Sandalwood). I have been able to achieve great lather and smooth shaves.
Also, I have bought more than I should in Simpsons brushes. My favorite brush is the Milk Churn 2 Band while my favorite handle to hold is my Rover.
So, to celebrate my desire to shave everyday (and for faithfully sticking to it), I wanted to get something different to try and hopefully fall in love with.
I dug deep within the wallet and bought:
A disc of MWF. I hadn't tried a soap, but this was an amazing product. Smooth, rich, easy on the face, and subtle scent.
The big purchase was a Tradere Solid Bar. The thing is super heavy, but so elegant. It was a joy to use, but I will need to hit the gym!
But, my most welcome surprise was the Simpsons Case. I did not have a travel brush that I loved. I did not want to take a "good" brush on the road, but didn't want to sacrifice a quality shave, if I could help it. This little champ held enough MWF for three full passes and felt solid in the hand. It was a treat to hold it, use it, and know that in the future I won't have to compromise when I am traveling.
I tried telling all of this to my wife, all the while trying not to mention price, but she could have cared less. But, I knew you all would understand my joy.
I have truly loved reading all your post about your favorite brushes and welcome advice.
Keep up the good work; I'll keep reading.
