Soap Yaqi The Green Brush Yaqi 24mm Mountain Lake 2 Band Badger
A very nice scent from this soap. It's was easy to lather with creamy and slick qualities too...
Brush: boar, badged as Cussons (the makers, of course, of Imperial Leather etc). An unknown (to me) manufacturer must have been producing this as a generic brush to be re-badged, as I have another identical brush in a different set. The markings have faded and, although marked as pure bristle, it never needed breaking in and worked from the start. Were it not for the markings its relative softness would make me think it had some badger in it - a good latherer.
Soap: Professor Blighty Wood Smoke (I forgot to capture the tub). A glycerine soap that needs a bit of work to produce lather of the consistency I like. Nice and slick but not my favourite scent.

Soap Stirling Orange Chill Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black Synthetic
Beautiful qualities from this soap! The scent was great with some cooling sensation and the lather is just real creamy and slick!
Brush: Semogue boar (1460). A relatively small knot and with less backbone than some of my other boars - plus the handle has cracked, despite my best efforts to ensure that I don't soak the whole of the knot and the water isn't too hot.
Soap: Proraso green. Consistently reliable.
Soap Ariana & Evans Peach & Cognac Brush Boti 26mm Fan Silvertip
This is a wonderful soap! Lovely & strong scent with a rich, creamy and slick lather...
Brush: boar knot picked up from eBay some time ago (possibly ACE shaving). 3 in the pack - one unusable, this (which I set in a cheap aliexpress handle) and another I've not yet set. 24 mm and breaking in nicely but quite dense. It holds a lot of water so requires a good shake or a lot of loading otherwise, as you can see, it will eat lather.
Soap: Tabac (pre vegan formulation). Generally lathers effortlessly and delivers a nice slick shave (and I like the scent).
