Have some great shaves!
 
Performed a lather off between my Shavemac 2band silver and this Rudy Vey STF using one pipe nail of Stirling Dunshire. The Shavemac brush which is 1mm wider and much more splayed brought rich lather in just 60 seconds using my Captains Choice bowl. The STF took just 20 seconds longer. Face feel honestly is better with the STF for my mug. I’m delighted with this brush and still stoked I have both making the rotations.
Finished with Lucky Tiger then Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill. Wow that stuff wakes ya up. Great session!

4th shave with the Timeless / Med Prep combo. Another smooth, close shave. The blade is smoother after a few uses. Another use (33rd shave) with this nice soap. I am beginning to see an indentation forming in the center. Today I am using a synthetic brush that has plenty of backbone and is unlike any other synthetic brush I own. This burh does a good job of making lather – but is not that soft on the face. Another perfect shave. Have a great day, folks.
