You should get some Mike’s Vetiver and see how it compares.

Early morning, so this was a luxury shave last night.
I figured out how to get search to work on my SDS. Type some thing in, close the keyboard, retouch the text field, delete a letter. Works every time!

Day 29 of APRil, only 1 more shave until APRil is over. What a ride.
How do you like the Pegasus, and how does it compare to a SOC brush?
No idea how it compares to a SOC brush, but I quite like the Pegasus. It's a bit scritchy still, so face feel isn't great, but it lathers soap very well and its smaller size makes it great for APR tubs or Cbubs 2oz sample tubs where larger brushes are kind of a PITA
Thanks! In fact, I believe that the Pegasus is the biggest brush from Semogue ( the OC only are 24mm)

Very mediocre shave – I probably didn't load heavy enough. Generally, I'm rethinking my life choices concerning Tabac Tuesday vs. Zingari Zischtig.
Have a good night!

First shave with the Damaskene Open Comb. Phenomenal little razor -- super mild, easy to use, and gave excellent results.
Tres Matres is also good, I'm glad I was able to score some.
