Phoenix Artisan’s Solar Flare is an attractive-looking brush, IMO, and it also performs quite well, creating a wonderfully thick, creamy, and fragrant lather from my vintage (pre-reformulation and outsourcing) Trumper Sandalwood shaving soap.
With the Parker Semi-Slant head riding on a Yaqi handle (shorter than the Parker handle), I got a perfectly smooth (and perfectly comfortable) result in three easy passes. A splash of Phoenix Artisan’s Sandalwood aftershave finished the job.
