I noticed (perhaps again) how very fine are the bristles of this Yaqi brush. The synthetic knot is in a “Target Shot” pattern, modeled (I’m told) on the quadrant aiming pattern used by submarines in WWII. I shook out all excess water and got an excellent lather from Phoenix Artisan’s Avo Nice Shave shaving soap.
The Yaqi DOC razor, in a cammo pattern to match the brush handle, is an very good razor and I easily achieved a BBS result in three smooth and trouble-free passes. A splash of Avo Nice Shave aftershave, and I’m back to unpacking and organizing.
