The Ecotools continues to perform extremely well. I really do like this brush, for all that it’s a repurposed make-up brush (the Ecotools Finishing Kabuki Brush, around $7.50 in the cosmetics section of Walgreens and the like). Some really object to using it because it’s not sold as a shaving brush, but I think they probably haven’t tried it. Terrific feel (very soft and gentle) and makes a terrific lather. I know some like a scrubby brush, which this isn’t, but in terms of lather performance it’s excellent. And it easily holds 3 passes worth of lather.
Creed’s Green Irish Tweed shaving soap makes a thick and creamy lather very easily, but it’s best to get it as a gift: it’s expensive.
Three passes with the Ri Mei razor (head at least is stainless, perhaps the handle as well), holding a Gillette SuperThin blade. The Ri Mei, for all its low price (less than $5) does an excellent job: BBS this morning.
A good splash of Creed’s Green Irish Tweed as an aftershave, and I’m feeling great: shower that was clogged for 3 days was fixed yesterday.
