Good Morning !
~08/09/2012~

Semogue 2011 LE FBristle 1 (#88) \\ Merkur 1904 w/ Red IP \\ 3P Pre Per E Post Barba \\ Santa Maria Novella Crema Da Barba \\ Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm

I think I found the best soap paired along with the FBristle 1 and its SMN. It lathers just perfect in a bowl then applying it on top of stubble. This brush is in its own league for a boar brush since the knot is so short lofted and uber dense. It finally sings with items I enjoy. Anybody else have this same brush or found a soap that works well with this SB? Have an excellent day, Friends!

Hey Rich, Thank you very much for those kind words. I tried something a little different which turned out nice I guess. I agree about the SOTD shots, they all look so very professional and amazing!
