Hi All,

Been wet shaving fir almost a month now, and have found this foru extremely helpful. I started out with a merkur 23c, feather blades and bolzanos, and a cheap tweezerman pure badger brush. Its working fine, but in an effort to save time I face lather when in a rush, and I find it a little irritating depending on which cream I use. I found that if I use trumpers coconut it less irritating, but other creams that dont irritate me when I bowl lather like truefitt sandalwood, are just unbearable when I face lather with this brush, redness, and tenderness for hours. I know there are many options, but is there a good brush thats good for both bowl, and soft enough for face lathering in the $50 range...sorry for all the drawn out details regarding creams..the simple answer would be, dont use sandalwood if it irritates you, but it only does so when I face lather..and I love the smell of it, its addicting....that said the gft coconut is bearable when I face lather but exteremely cushy, soft and comfortable when I bowl.lather even with the $8 tweezerman....thanks for all if your help guys....
