This morning I woke up in a beautiful mist.
This led me to decide for the Lathering Dutch White.
It was the right day!

Also, as I had promised myself, I used my SE which I had given up because of the bad results.
But this morning, with a hand light like a skinny butterfly, I got a fantastic shave.

I was supposed to meet with the local police chief, but we could not mett: a wasted shave!
Not to mention the plum guepierre...

This ER is the British “G”Bar equivalent, and a very nice looking Razor as well as feeling good in the hand.However, it is too mild for me and I do not get as good a finish as those with other Razors. So it will be used occasionally.

At the beginning of summer I got this brush, a very marked bulb, extra extra dense and with very fine hair, quite treated and very pleasant to the touch.



The problem was the measurements of the knot, with that shape and that density the 26x48 that it brought were quite absurd and made it a stick impossible to open minimally in the face

We had to find a solution, I considered removing the knot with steam (at the risk of damaging it) or hammering the handle (which without being anything special, is quite apparent)

Until giving it a turn I realized that there was another. With a fine saw, a little patience and a lot of care I removed the upper lip



I have used some sandpaper (it lacks another session and polishing a little) and now I even like it better



What has changed is its behavior, now it is a usable brush, with proportionate measurements and hair that in the absence of seeing how it evolves I find it quite pleasant, although to tell the truth, in a couple of uses it has not fallen in love either

Good weekend

I have a similar one, but is... collarless.
I agree with you: not only it may bloom better, but it also looks better.

Good job! :okay:
