Haslinger Schafmilch/Omega 31052/Edwin Jagger Kelvin/Gillette Sharp Edge/Speick Active

Nice Omega brush. I'm not seeing as many Omega users as I used to, it seems.

I have two of these, actually. This is the second one. The first one turned out to be a shedder until she stopped losing hair, but I estimate it lost between a 15 or 20% of its density. It still lathers nicely, though, and I use it as a travel brush. These Omegas are, for me, the best bang for your buck out there. If you use them regularly they become soft as a feather and have a very nice backbone, and lack the annoying tendency of stealing your lather that other boar brushes have. I have badger brushes, synthetics and other boars, but this is my favourite boar, by far. I could have just this brush and I'd be perfectly happy.

Thanks buddy! I’m loving those Shavemacs of yours, beautiful knots.

A nice stiff drink post shave is always a great idea. ? It's also a great way to celebrate finishing this sample. It's more subdued compared to Midnight Stag. Where Midnight Stag is like getting punched in the face with an oily leather glove, Cuir et Épices is like a worn in leather chair - comfortable, warm. Perfect for bourbon.
