- Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts w/Maggard SHD 30mm Fan
- Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
- Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (6)
- Lather: Viking Shaving Soap - Norway - Soap
- Post Shave: Brut - Splash On
I don’t use this soap enough to be really proficient with it, and I’ve had some pretty disappointing lathers in the past – this time, though, I did good! I guess it’s just one of those soaps that takes a relatively hefty amount of loading, and not much water. Lots of water just breaks it, I guess.
Brut was really nice, and it’s the next morning and I can still smell it.

Does that brush feel gigantic? I have a 30 mm silver tip from Maggard and it feels huge. I imagine the denser SHD is a monster.

It feels great. It’s big, but not cumbersome. It was sold as a 28mm, but measures 30, and is larger than the other 28mm SHD that I have. I prefer this one to the 28mm, as it feels a tad softer. They’re both great, though.
I had to use a rotary tool (Dremel™ brand 🤣) to enbiggen the hole in the handle in order to get this knot in. It’s in a “reject” Dogwood. I do wish it was in a larger handle to make it easier to hold, but I’m happy with it overall.

Sounds nice!
