The Maggard 22mm synthetic could easily be a “brush for life” despite its modest price. Well made, comfortable handle, feels good on face, and efficient: what more does one need? It made a very nice lather from Meißner Tremonia’s Himalayan Heights shaving soap, and the Dorco PL602, a first-rate razor in comfort and efficiency, easily and comfortably produced a smooth face, to which I applied a good splash of Booster June Clover, a favorite that had gotten pushed to the back of the shelf.
