This was my second B&B LE brush. It was made by Rudy Vey and has a Shavemac D01 two band knot in it. I love the shape of the handle. The brush is an excellent performer. My third shave with the Wolfman and Med Prep blade. An exceptionally smooth and close shave. Have a great day, gents.

Pre:-
Razor: R41 on Ikon Tuckaway
Blade: Treet Black Beauty 1st use
Brush: Semogue Mistura Finest Butterscotch
Cream: Proraso Azur Lime
Post: TFS Witch Hazel, Azur Lime Balm
Result: DFS+

First pass with the Black Beauty was a bit tuggy, 2&3 we’re ok but not as smooth as the Dura Sharp in the Progress. Let’s see where this leads in the next shaves. I also had my first shave with the Azur Lime today and it worked as good or even better than the standard Proraso creams. The scent was bit disappointing though. Right from the tube you get a whiff of lime but once lathered it is pretty much your generic aquatic/sporty/freshness and not much else. I’m still not a fan of balms missing the alcohol sting and fearing sticky residue on my face but this one is quite ok. No stickiness and a smooth face feel, no nicks, cuts or irritations so overall a damn fine shave.
 
Salute!

- Simplex three-piece military razor circa 1942-44. The razors were procured by the Chief Quartermaster of the European Theater of Operations during WW II - Stock No. 29-R-1035. The razor cap is metal, base plate and handle plastic. Mfg by the Federal Razor Blade Co. of New York. Razor weight 0.94 oz.

NOTE: One of the smoothest shavers in my collection. Amazing.
