The Mühle silverfiber brush shown is unlike the Plisson-style synthetics, aiming (I think) to emulate a badger shaving brush. It is a good brush, but I find I use the Plisson-style more.
The soap shown is still totally wonderful. This soap seems to required replacing the lid after each use—Quebec Steve found his tub lost its mojo when stored without the lid. As you can see, the tub is filled to the brim, so novices might experience difficulty in loading the brush.
The lather from this soap is really excellent. Quite clearly the soap contains no clay: loading is easy and immediate. I enjoy this soap, so I took my time lathering, which probably contributed to the excellence of the shave.
With the Wolfman bar-guard razor, three passes produced a BBS result with no problems. It’s a superb razor.
A splash of Alpa 378, and the (short) work week begins.
