Uuurgh, hate breaking in new brushes.

On the plus side, I can tell it's going to be a beaut when it does break in.

Last shave with the 66 tonight. Really enjoyed it. I would say this and the 16 are level pegging it at the moment. Have got the 58, 70 and lightweight 66 left to go.
 
This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (4)
Soap: Pre de Provence
Brush: Simpson Tulip T2 in two-band Super
Balm: Trumper's Skin Food, West Indian Limes
Scent: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
Result: excellent, and very quick

I'm consistently doing an unhurried wash, lather, two and a half passes, rinse, balm, dry the gear and apply scent in well under fifteen minutes now, closer to ten. Which is nice.

Aramis shaving soap lather was a bit airy and thin in appearance and could have done with some more cushion, but still a great shave. Fourth one with this Swede.
(Razor is a gold replated Fatboy rather than an originally gold Executive)
