Hello everyone,

Test of the latest generation of ST-2 synthetic bristles from OUMO SHAVING BRUSH - I have the honour of being part of a group of 20 testers - with a brush featuring a magnificent handle - I love the design - and a plastic material with luminescent reflections - never seen that before - it's eye-catching!

Not very visible in the photos though ...

A sick foam/cream - a new generation of fibre with its pluses and minuses, which will be passed on regularly to the manufacturer for 3 weeks.

I'll tell you more at the end of the test






Have a nice day!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent Aqua Velva homage, "Sacré Bleu" shave soap. Great scent and fantastic lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Samurai" Sweet Spot badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Red Tip and I finished with Williams "Aqua Velva" aftershave splash and Czech & Speake "Frankincense & Myrrh" EdP.

Hope you have a great day.
