The brush is a Chiseled Face brush, and a very good brush it is, too. Excellent lather from the Midnight Stag. One big advantage that shaving soaps (and shaving creams) have over canned foam is that soaps and creams come in an amazing variety of interesting fragrances, whereas the fragrance choices in canned foam are severely limited. (That is not, of course, the only advantage shaving soaps and creams have over canned foam.)
Midnight Stag shaving soap has a fragrance described as:
Russian Leather, Motor Oil, Hoppes #9, Birch Tar, Oakmoss, Gasoline, Smoke, Cedar, Cade, Bergamont, Vanilla
The ingredients:
Stearic Acid, Aloe Vera Juice, Potassium Hydroxide, Beef Tallow, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Glycerin, Fragrance, Mango Butter, Avocado Oil, Silk Powder
Three passes with the iKon X3 (here on a UFO handle) left a totally smooth face with no nicks or burn. A splash of Midnight Stag finished the job and the day begins.
