PAA Harvest MoonTwo new products today, brush and soap. The brush, after a couple of trial lathers over the past days, disappointed in the ways only a Semogue boar brush can. The brush is beautiful to me, but, after what appeared to be a good initial loading and lather on the face, the lather died in the brush before the second pass. The brush also shed a further few hairs during the shave. My experience with Semogue boar bushes has always been the same. I have never managed to keep one for more than a month, due to the immense frustration with the thing, but I keep hoping. Despite this the shave went well, the lather was good from the PAA soap but the scent was definitely underwhelming, I couldn't smell much more than soap. The post shave skin conditioning, on the other hand, was first rate. Really close, comfortable two pass shave from the Progress as usual, so not all was lost.

On a brighter note on holiday for a week tomorrow. This is my holiday kit.
Keep on going with the brush which will shed more hair until it settles down and also becomes softer at the tips, as regards loading soap make sure knot is damp only and heavy load soap then hydrate on face to produce a good lather.
