Wow! Great shave! The brush was fantastic! Easy to load, soft tips and did not hog the lather! My first Fan knot and I loved it! Again thanks Brad and crew for everything!
Soap was very smooth and slick. Very easy to lather and loved the scent! Matching AS was great as well!
Rex Ambassador- had heard it was on the aggressive side but it did great! Solid craftsmanship, easy to adjust and smooooth on the skin! Was able to dial it in for my preferences quickly!

Excellent shave with my Gem Damaskeene 1912-15 the real McCoy with a coated Gem blade.
The Yaqi High mountain silvertip is one of my favorites, right up there with the top tier European brushes.SE SOTD, Tue, May25th 2021
Razor: Gem Damaskeene OC- Mfg 1912-15 for the O.C, excellent razor, soft mid range, this razor really started the Gem razor Mfg in the right direction, after decades of only a few improvements they sold millions of different variants. Very enjoyable shave.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(6) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable.
Soap: Tabac- nice mild clean scent + excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi High mountain silvertip badger 24 mm, makes some of the best lather, not a lather hog, soft tips with a just a gleamier of prickliness that changes from more use, great scrub + great lather painter. Very impressed with this badger brush + no funk.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Fine fresh Vetiver with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm,
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 chin weeper=
Have some great shaves!

I like Lilac Vegetal too. I think a lot of people who don't like it are applying too much. One only needs a little imo. I remember it (and Osage Rub) from our neighborhood barber as a kid.
