    I prefer larger blades, but great shaves like today’s make me think I might not have right reasons for this preference.

    We always tend to prefer larger things despite it actually being a matter of how well you can handle what you’ve got 👀

    Btw, nice time see you’ve been able to fit a new knot to your Dogwood brush!

      Yes, I stuck a Gelousy in there. It’s a nice knot, but definitely a lot floppier than I’d like. I keep postponing pulling it back out and drilling a deeper bore hole to set it at a lower loft 😅

        You prefer a firmer brush I reckon. I like mine a bit floppier, but that’s due to the nature of head shaving.

          I can appreciate a softer brush (eg, my extra soft Zenith horse) but I do prefer a bit of backbone, yeah.

            I’m still very interested in trying one of the extra soft Zenith horse brushes, but since all my experiences with horse hair were a tangled up mess that had to be tossed out soon, I’m kinda worried…

                Thanks but I have to politely decline. Currently it’s not a good time to possibly add another brush to the mix; maybe someday in the future. I highly appreciate your kind offer though ✌🏻

                  If you change your mind I’m the future, don’t hesitate to let me know
