My Stuff
Brushes
- Satin Tip "The Purest" - black
- DAILY DRIVER: amack4shaving 24mm Sunrise knot set in maroon Whipped Dog handle
- Vie-long 12705 horse hair - Glad addition from my 2015 Bingle buddy - Better than my badger and boar. Like it more for bowl lathering, but is good for face lathering. Soft out of the box with just a touch of scritch. Good backbone and builds lather well. Good brush. I am going to keep it around, but not my go to.
- Travel brush similar to the Parker travel brush - Started as pure badger, but did not like it. Changed to synthetic and it is very functional now.
- Retired Brushes
- Omega s-brush - Decent sythetic, and cheap...gave both to brother-in-laws
- Omega hi-brush - Good synthetic, but enjoyed the Satin Tip and sunrise brushes more - gave to father-in-law
- Omega 13564 boar brush - Got it in a black friday starter kit sale from Maggard's. Broke it in, and it feels good. Better than my pure badge. I find though that even with a good load I am not getting more than 2 solid passes worth of lather. Little left for touch up, but not full 3rd pass. Gave it some time, and it got better, but decided to put into restraint passaround.

Rating Key
| The best and will always be a puck in the den (will have to have sliver around during restraint year just in case) |
 | Love it, and is re-order worthy |
 | Not bad, but not great. Probably would not re-order unless there is something unique |
 | Did not like it for one reason or another, will not re-order |
 | This soap is horrible and will hunt down and eradicate its existence |

- Amici - - Great scent that lasts through the lather. Not sure I like how soft it is, but I got it for $2.99. At normal $3.99 it is still worth it.

I love the performance of my formula, it boils on if I will remake these scents- Apple Cider - Love the scent, but will have to tone down fragrance oil due to burn (I put too much in)

- Pantie Dropper - This is a great scent...though my tub is weak on scent level. Go this as Pantie Dropper was being discontinued. Should have bought 2.

- Cherry Tobacco - Strong scent, very cherry and not over powering tobacco. This is more a croap that is approaching a cream. Lather's great. Price is $8.50 a tub. I got it in a PIF.
- Killarny - - similar to Cherry Tobacco in quality. Scent is leather and bayberry. Nice scent. This scent is a Stirling, MW, Tim's would rock.
