It's a good brush Shubs. Fibres feel like G5 type and it has a low glue bump. Handle looks great as well. That said, I ordered this before I got another nice green brush. I've used it to try but it's heading off to the BST soon. Too many green brushes and not enough space!How are you finding the new Yaqi? Nice looking handle too.
Gave A&E Turkish coffee another chance this morning. Performance wise one of the best performing soaps I've tried. Today I tried hydrating lather as much as it can be hydrated to try to reduce burning sensation but without success. It burned so much that I was considering lathering something else for second pass. Not sure what's the cause of it is it perfume or some other ingredient but it's definitely the shame as I really enjoy this scent.Yesterday I had the same issue with this soap, constant burning sensation throughout the shave. Scent is excellent and I need to give it a few more shots before passing it forward.
Glad you like it man!Prep: Face wash with Simple face wash

A recent BST addition thanks to @Crossan this soap/splash was a pleasant surprise. My first DG soap and I have to say I am well impressed. Lathers with ease and the result is a very dense lather. The type that you can 'paint' over your face. Coupled with a complex lovely scent it has all the attributes I want in a soap.
I think I can squeeze just one more use out of the L'Occitane balm. Would love to replace it but wallet looks at me with disapproval.
