I have no idea where I got this brush from but I can tell you I've had it for something like ten years. I can't tell you if I recall ever using it before. So, considering this is "Cheapie" week I thought why not give it a whirl?

Despite being a mediocre brush I had a good shave. And at the end of the day, it does work so...

The rest of the gear served me well enough so no complaints there.

This austere shave did have another purpose. It helped me to appreciate the finer bits of gear I own and in that regard, I recommend to you all do as I did from time to time.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your shaves.
