I think that's the same brush I ordered yesterday after reading one of the threads here. This one on ebay Nice to hear you find it decent.

This brush is really good. Super soft, great with creams, it wips up lather like a madman. Really a surprising brush. :icon_smile:

Pre: Hot wash with dove soap.
Soap: Stirling Bay Rum.
Brush: Vie-Long Horse Hair.
Razor: Kropp 6/8.
Post: Benjamins Bay Rum.

Nice 2 pass still WTG pass and I am beginning to do clean ups of the awkward areas. Whilst I still do use a DE its only for tidy ups. At some point I will tackle other directions but for now I am still getting used to straight shaving. The stirling bay rum soap has a very strong scent and takes some effort to lather but still had lather left after I finished my shave. The benjamins is ok but there is probably better out there.

Hmmm, didn't know there was a Hawkridge OS AS. Where did you pick that up from?

What is the scent like?

I pick it up at my local supermarket. I think where ever there is Old spice, there will be this and Wolftorn. I'm really bad with smells so i'll try, it has some of the spice notes of OS but in a more modern approach.

This might help
