Usually, I prefer using shave sticks with small boars. Today I tried to figure out how to do so with a larger brush, my Mondial. I had to reapply after every pass. This is not actually a problem for me, but I like the challenge, so I will probably keep at it for a couple more shaves and try to get enough soap in the brush with the first application. The rest of the setup included: Gillette New SC, Nacet (10), Tabac stick, LPL Oud-Santal ASL.
