Hello All,
I think I'm getting the hang of lathering now, a few youtube vids made me realise that I was using far too little water. I'm just realising the protection that a proper lather gives following many, many liberal applications of alum......
Now I am firmly of the opinion that I need a new brush. I am using an Omega boar which I paid about £4 for. Given that I bought a Feather razor, I really should invest more. The Omega feels like a pasty brush. I understand that the synthetics are as good as anything now?
Ideally I'd like something around 120mm long, a classic look. I'm naturally drawn to a Simpson, and the number 59 in particular but that's for non shaving reasons.
It's £100 though, so a non starter.
I have looked at the ATS and Yuqi offerings, but I really don't like the look of those. A knot was an option I considered but reasonably priced handles seem hard to come by. Looking at around the £60 mark.
Any advice please?
Thanks in advance!
