Dental check-up today for me and Taff's 2nd vaccination against the nasties of the outside world. Hopefully he will be able to go out soon. I cannot wait to see what he weighs, he seems to have grown a lot in the last couple of weeks, he also slept all the way through last night until 5am before needing to go out.
Enjoy your day all.

I think it’s an outstanding looking brush. What grade of badger?

Key Features
Hair Type: Three-band badger (Enlightener/Silvertip style) featuring distinct light, dark, and light bands.
Density: Super High Density (SHD) fill, which provides substantial backbone and face presence.
Knot Shape: Fan shape, offering a wide, even lather distribution and smooth face feel compared to bulb shapes.
Tips: Soft tips that often develop a gel-like feel after initial cleaning and use.

Its a lovely brush to use, and as @chazt said much much better than the original synth, it was nothing like my other CH2 synth with it being far too stiff, i believe it had been set incorrectly and too deep in the handle the knot would not come out easily so it had to be drilled out.
As we all know Toby seems to know a lot about how "some" brushes will apply face powder :roflmao:.

Have been having easy Shaves for a few months now, as have been using Injectors and AC/SE Razors.Today I went for a Shave that needed a little more expertise to get a good Shave.I chose to use a modern Razor that uses a Gem blade. Previous Shaves with it, indicated that for me it was better than the early Blackland Sabre, but I cannot compare it to the latest which also has variable plates.
The first couple of strokes reminded me to use a light touch and let the Razor weight do the work. I quite enjoyed the Shave, and was pleased at the overall finish qualty.
