Superb lather with the Yaqi Rainbow and Tabac today. The Yaqi Rainbow has a very dense knot, a relatively high glue bump that gives the knot a good face feel and it's quite large & splays without being floppy - a very good brush for face lathering a shaving stick. The Rainbow isn't a million miles from another Yaqi brush I own, the Mysterious Blue Fan Tuxedo brush, which also has quite a large and dense knot but with a lower glue bump and can feel a bit floppy at times.
With each additional shave, the Gillette Platinum seems to impress me more and more. A very smooth and forgiving blade but efficient nonetheless. I'm seriously considering shifting a lot of my other stocks of blades to purchase these particular blades.
