The Seygus is very efficient but still on the mild side.
@Digimonkey Hi Mate the 24mm Highmountain silvertip is a excellent brush worth every penny you wont be disappointed
yes it was me iv bought 7 brushes from there and never had a problem with customs and excise you should be fine im not that far away from Scotland I got a free yaqi razor head with the highmountain silvertip brush which was nice I wonder if you get oneSo it was you then that posted the picture? ha ha ha. It's a lovely looking thing. Fingers crossed I don't get taken up the ar** by customs and excise. Yours - I.
Is this a ground breaking event???? Don't think I have ever seen an SOTD photo from Iain before!Sotd - Saturday 28/4 -

Razor - Mergress (1.5)
blade - Polsilver SI (5)
brush - Vie Long Anniversary 2 band
soap - SV Tundra Artica
post - witch hazel
a/s - Floid Mentally Vigorous
balm - Bart's Peppermint lotion
scent - Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme.
Result - excellent.
A bric a brac approach - just using whatever software I fancied - as opposed to my norm of a scent theme running through the shave. All the better for it. Nice. For me - I have realised that the Mergress works its best dialed down. One more shave to go in the head to head with the Rockwell - if I was a betting man it might look like a dead heat in the offing. Thank you - he says ironically - to the fellow member that posted a picture of their Yaqi 24mm Aqua handle high-mountain badger brush last week - love at first sight for me - I had to have one - and thus it was so - unfortunately when I was on the site I saw the Moka Express two-band - that's just a gorgeous thing. What can I say - I'm worthless and weak. Both ordered and on their way - fingers crossed I don't get snagged at this end. They will cease to be cheap if that happens. I'm looking forward to trying them. The Extreme version of the Dior Sauvage isn't as good for me as the normal one - it lacks the predominant citrus notes - but my other half loves it - the path of least resistance is indeed a good thing. So - all in all a great shave - SV soap - what remains to be said? Ditto Bart's lotion. Job done - enjoy your shaves one and all - yours - I.

I am tempted by that 2 band haha the handle looks cool I must resist iv way to many brushes I shouldn't be looking at things to buy on the internet when Iv had a drinkI have been lucky thus far - customs wise - never been trapped. You don't want to push your luck though. A free razor head? Excellent - I ordered the high mountain and a two band - worth a free razor you would have thought? I hope it's one of the double open comb ones. It will save me ordering it. Ha ha. Cheers - I.

"Stick a tidy bit of badger in front of me - I falter". Yes I tend to falter when that happens to me! P.Mate - you can't beat a bit of drunken internet shopping - most of my shaving kit has been acquired that way. You wake up the next day - check your mail - and oh f**k - PayPal receipts a plenty. Mind you it was just such an event that got me my Cobra Classic - so it's not all bad. I couldn't resist the Deco style handle on the Yaqi two band. As I said before - I'm worthless and weak. Stick a tidy bit of badger in front of me - I falter. Ha ha. Yours - I.
