Review (5/5): OMG a very fine brush
Are you sometimes grumpy or blue when you get out of bed? Well, now that I have a good brush and a good soap, every morning holds the promise of a nice shave. I feel sorry for the ladies, I don't think shaving your legs once a week gives you the same comfort. Forget penis envy :).....Will the brush last for years? Only time will tell, but given that even mass produced ones can last for years, I'm guessing this one could be something you can put in your will. I've only had it for a few months, but after losing maybe two hairs at the very beginning, no more shedding. Drop it into your basin of hot water and let the handle warm up in seconds. Then hit the soap and inside of 15 seconds you have yourself a beautiful foam. When you're done, squeeze the extra left-over lather back into your soap cup (from the brush, you dummy), if you're using the good stuff, that will save you some money. You can read elsewhere about just how much water to leave on the brush before creating your lather. Combine this with a good shaving soap (yes Virginia, $20 for one cake, but that cake will last ya. I'm using Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap and I love it; I'm guessing this cake will last me 8 months to a year and I shave daily.
When you're done shaving, two or three swings and most of the water zips right off of the brush and it's back to its bushy self. I'd rather be on a desert island alone with this little guy than a lot of people I know. Remember to hang it brush side down... of course.
