the 1305 performs wonderfully with any hard soap and shaving stick.Enjoy it.npinn001 said:Tried my new semogue boar, with truefitt and hill luxury shaving soap.....and was really impressed. lathered alot, was nice and slick. Got Floris shaving soap to try tomorrow.
Give it 10 days to break and after that youll see how it shines with any hard soap/shavestick that you use.Pig Cat said:Yep, my 1305 was great with Palmolive. Even posted my first SOTD to celebrate!! Looking forward to using this brush a lot more. :shave
give it another extra week to break and youll see...npinn001 said:Each time i passed the bathroom yesterday, i went in and lathered using soaps. I got it. And the boar now has fluffy tips! I shaved using the lather and it was superb, really slick and creamy.
I think i may be converted. Oh, and the Floris soap, well, its a cinch to lather and is creamier than many creams i have tried, definitely worth it, especially as British hall sell them at a great price.
I used it today and made tons of lather.Can you believe that a 10 euros brush could beat any expensive brush?Now Im a believer.npinn001 said:Really getting into the swing of things, and in a weird way, i love the thought that the £8 brush i have is so good, and gets better and better. Its satisfying breaking it in.
You could always try Sir HareSo are we saying i need to try D'adarios Rabbit Fat soap, or D'adarios Rabbit foot soap?
I haven't tried wickhams or nanny's (I will do so), but completely agree with thisI would strongly recommend the Phoenix&Beau and OSP soaps. Perhaps the best contemporary UK artisans
