I really like the look of that brush - heard good things about VL synths .View attachment 77876

Over the moon with this Vie Long brush. As the name suggests it is indeed a very soft knot but with more than enough backbone to create a great lather. I was looking for a soft synthetic with a bit less density than the brushes that I already own and this hit the mark perfectly.
3 pass shave plus pickups. Passes 1 & 2 (#4) , pass 3 and pickups ( #2 ).
Ultra smooth and comfortable shave today with the Rockwell / WS combo and the last couple of applications of soap was like spreading butter.
Superb.
I'm really happy with it. The handle is an ergonomic style that I've found I like best and the knot was exactly what I was looking for.I really like the look of that brush - heard good things about VL synths .
Here’s One For Your 11
I'd second that as I find a lot of attars are more personal and intimate. But then you get someone the other side of the office saying they can smell rose or patchouli really strongly. My usual application is to the wrists, pat together, wipe each in turn up my neck under my ear and then keep pattying to dry off the wrists. From the neck can give a tad more projection, but careful with good shirts.The Oud Malaki Attar arrived today, and so far I quite like it. Not too strong a Scent, so it doesn't project too much, which suits me as sometimes I like my scents to not always be obvious but personal.
