Maggard’s 22mm synthetic brush is one of my favorites, and today it easily made a terrific lather from Tallow + Steel’s Grog shaving soap: West Indies Bay, Key Lime, Labdanum, White Fir, Rosemary, and Ylang Ylang. The ingredients:
Stearic Acid + Tallow (from local, pasture-raised, 100% grass-fed cattle) + Water + Potassium Hydroxide + Sodium Hydroxide + Organic Castor Oil + Organic Glycerin + Organic Coconut Oil + Organic Avocado Oil + Lanolin + Silk + Essential Oils + Vitamin E
And the site explains what they do.
Well prepped (and I did my usual pre-shave stubble wash using MR GLO), I set to work with the Fatip Testina Gentile (and Italian Barber offers the head on a variety of handles, including several made of wood (walnut, wenge, and others).
Three passes left a trouble-free BBS result, to which I applied a good splash of Grog aftershave.
