Semogue 1800 | Merkur HD w/ RedIP | Proraso Crema Pre E Dopo Barba | "Almighty" MWF | GFT Sandalwood Skin Food Sample


If Semogue ever had a SOC handle filled with the 1800 bristles I would be all over that b/c I really love my 1800 and has become one of my faves. It has the perfect balance of softness/scritchness which makes my shaves really enjoyable! Fellow B&B members don't know what they are missing out if you like boar shaving brushes. I do believe if you liked the 1305 when fully broken but wanted more backbone go for a 1800! Anyway Friends I hope you all have a great day!

Dovo Astrale
clean up: Fatboy w/ Derby (1)
Acca Kappa 1869
Rudy Vey Chubby 2 clone
Thayers Cucumber
Razorock Alum for grip
TOBS St. Jermyn AS

This straight razor shaving is way harder than I thought it would be. The angles that my face needs to contort to is very difficult for me to attain even with the alum on my fingers. Should I buy a block of alum? would that help with the gripping of my face? The rest of the shave went smoothly with the Fatboy cleaning up the hair that the straight didn't cut through. WH and St. Jermyn has me smelling like a champ so even though I'm taking to straights slower than expected, I still can pull off a great shave and smell great. All in all a great shave.
