That is Mitchell's, Palmolive, Erasmic, TOC aromatherapy and so on, And as for creams it just seems to flatten them, i have tried TOBS, DR Harris, Connaught, Palmolive, Proraso.
As for technique I have tried soaking the brush first then taking about 90% of the water out of the brush, I have tried just wetting the tips, Putting the cream in the centre of the bloom, but to no avail, i am at a loss with this brush it is the first brush i have not been able to use, maybe its me i dont know.
Oh by the way the wet dog smell with the brush hasn't faded much.
I think i will put this down to experience and stick to badger witch perform consistently.
Slow Shaving said:I agree Fido. I have three boar brushes and other three with badger hair and I love alls. I'm not a board or badger taliban, be sure of that; my main objective is to enjoy all my shaves. One more data: In my area the water is very hard but is possible to have a really good leather using badger or board brushes.
I only was talking about my own way to lathering well and I had shared it for help with the best of intentions. I hope it didn't sound like a disrespectful comment (my english is not so good).
