How to pamper your face...
At first I did not like this shaving brush. All my life had used imitation or boar bristle shaving brushes, and along comes this limp thing that honestly felt like a miniature mop. I was not impressed, at first.<br /><br />Then I dug into the history and types of shaving brushes, and oddly the badger bristles are considered a premium brush. To me it looked like something a woman would use to put make-up on.<br /><br />So I gave Professor Fuzzworthy's shaving brush a few more days. After its initial use it seemed to stiffen up a bit more, but not a lot. And have found that lathering up with William's shaving soap takes a bit more effort, yet my face feels worlds better using this brush in comparison to a boar bristle. One can pamper their face with this.<br /><br />Final verdict, it is a fabulous shaving brush. This Huon Pine seems stout enough and fits well into my large hands quite well.<br /><br />Lagarostrobos franklinii is a species of conifer native to the wet southwestern corner of Tasmania, Australia. The timber has a very high oil content, methyl eugenol to be precise, which renders it impervious to insects, waterproof, and imbues it with its characteristic sappy perfume.<br />Huon pine timber is highly sought after by crafts people. It's easy to turn and carve due to its elastic qualities, and rarely splits. It has a unique aroma, and some of the trees in Tasmania's wilderness are up to 1000 years old.<br /><br />One can see why so much emphasis is placed on the wood of this outstanding shaving brush. I shall cherish this Professor Fuzzworthy's Luxury Huon Pine Premium Shaving Brush for the rest of my years.
