Shouldn't you reach an agreement, I am in for the New Forrest Tubby; in case should it come my time, please PM me. Thanks

I am proud owner of a #16 and, guys, it is such a great shaver that when I haven't the time to shave with a straight razor I absolutely choose it amongst the few DE I still have (and there is a vintage chrome Progress in the lot)

Well, I have had a Progress for almost three years and I recently sold it to a friend of mine; it is still going strong - even the head.

That's absolutely gorgeous!!!! If I wouldn't shave only with straights, I would have already bought it. What a beauty...

I just would like to add Kai Pro Touch in the lot: they are more friendly than Feather pro guard

Well, even if you are right that same knot in a wooden M7 style hand turned handle still deliveres great lathers

I mixed Speick and Alcolado Glacial: what a wonderful surprise, not only with hot climates

In my opinion you can't compare face feeling of synthetic brushes to natural fibre ones; they simply are different. The plus of synthetics is lather capability; the downside is a somehow "plastic" feeling. You can look after, and indeed find, a backbone similar to your preferences. That being...

Beautiful job!

I absolutely agree with you: it's a great brush pretty dense, with spot on backbone, pretty good water retention and amazing lathering capabilities

Colonial in aluminum with brass chromed fat handle (total weight around 85 grams) and Proline P30

I wonder why the guys at Colonial Razors don't offer a chrome version, both of the General in ss or aluminum. I think it could be way better looking, and also more gliding.

I do suggest you to check ebay.fr as I bought mine for some 25 Euro shipped

Me too I am pretty set, and me too I hope to stop shop this new year ... even if I know I hardly could! At least, I will try to; in my wishlist I have a Kai Standard Holder jstyle or folding and some artisan USA soap. No more ... hopefully.

You could also give a try to one of those new aliexpress brushes from Yaqi; they make what seems to be a good brush in blue resin with a 24 mm fan shape finest badger knot. It is way cheaper but it could be worth a try.
