Superb performance from Friday's shave. I'm hugely impressed with the Salter puck which I've had on my radar for quite a while. World-class quality lather and performance. The little budget Kent brush is just starting and needs further break-in time; as it's the only (and likely last) natural bristle brush they currently make, I thought it would be worth having in the den.
