I do like that Omega boar brush shown in the photo. It’s very soft, and if you accept its softness and learn to use it, it’s a wonderful brush, but I can understand those accustomed to a stiffer brush might be initially puzzled and dismayed by its softness until they learn to use.
It worked up a wonderful lather from Dr. Jon’s Propaganda. My tin does not have the fragrances listed around the edge of the label, something other Dr. Jon’s soaps do, which I like. If the list was on the label, it would consist of vanilla, sandalwood, musk, patchouli, and mandarin. I like this fragrance a lot.
Razorock’s Black Mamba razor is yet another marvel from Italian Barber, though it’s not currently available and may be yet another discontinued razor. I do wish IB would license the designs so that the razors could continue to be available—the Baby Smooth, the Black Mamba, the Stealth are all excellent and are all discontinued, so far as I can tell.
A good splash of Stetson Sierra on my BBS face, and we lunge for the weekend.
