    • Brush: Zenith - B21 boar
    • Razor: Gilette - Super Speed black tip
    • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (1)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Leviathan
    • Post: Nivea - Sensitive Post Shave Balm
    • Post: Stetson - Cooling Moisture AS splash

    First shave with this brush and razor (thanks u/EldrormR over on reddit!). The razor was very forgiving and felt nice and mild. The brush is very different from the Omega 10048 that I’ve been using over the last few months. Way less flop, much softer bristles.

    I think I’m going to enjoy getting to know these two better.

    Have a great one y’all. ✌️

      I have a B2 which is very similar, but a plastic handle covered with aluminum. I really like it.

      The B21, B2 etc names are specific to The Gentle Shave who sells them in the US. Pretty smart business move! You can get the same brushes cheaper from Europe, but the B2 for example is really called B03-A26. Good luck remembering and recommending that to friends!

        Ah, I didn’t know this. Interesting! And yes, clever marketing move for sure.

        I did a bit of looking but couldn’t find a site that compares the Gentle Shave’s model numbers with those assigned by Zenith. Do you happen to know where I can find that info (preferably without learning Italian 😄)?

          No such resource exists that I know of. You just have to browse for what looks the same, compare loft, etc.

          The B21 that you have might be unique to The Gentle Shave since he talks about some customization.
