    A citrusy and woodsy Wednesday morning shave. The combination of a horse hair brush with stiff backbone and a shave stick makes for a exfoliating shave, leaving my face both clean shaven and very soft.

      This is the first time I’ve heard someone say something good about Vie long horse brushes. You would recommend it?

        Are there other horse brushes that you’ve seen recommended? I think this is the first I’ve seen listed on any SOTD, but I haven’t done this very long.

          I have a Semogue Premium horse, and a Zenith extra soft horse brush. The Semogue is probably my favorite brush, and I regularly use the Zenith, though it is very soft.

            It would be my fourth brush, but it’s a rabbit hole I’m willing to explore. I have a vintage handle coming my way - not sure of the brand - but I’d be willing to replace the knot with horse hair if I could find one.
