This brush continues to impress. I don't even think it's fully broken in yet, but I've stopped soaking it before use. I just run it under warm water for a bit and it's ready to roll. The first pass was borderline tuggy so I added more water to the lather. That must have softened things up because the rest of the shave was great. |

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave. I tried a slurry lather today because I thought this silk tallow base would be perfect for it. My technique execution was poor, but I got the desired effect from the lather. I need to do this again to improve my technique. Video

Décadi 30 Thermidor an CCXXXIV de la Révolution, jour de Moulin
I'm back home again (yay!), working (~yay!~). An excellent shave – this was way closer than anything I got out of the Edwin Jagger DE razor, even though I had the impression that I did a decent job with it. Straight razors rule! Have a good night! |

I have the same experience; I get closer, more comfortable shaves with a straight than with a DE. Le Grand Large -- definitely not a tautology 😉 |

Yeah I always enjoy his “shave & chats”. He’s pretty busy running the Stag challenge atm. |

1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG. CCS. It's been a while since I tried one of these blades. I liked it much more than last time, but I think it falls short of a feather or bolzano. Forgot to post my last 2 shaves. |

It would not be - large is more horizontally extended 😁 In this case it means the high seas, though. It's a nice aquatic, less sophisticated than Aqua Velva, but more refreshing. I don't know whether Mennen sells that under another name in the US of A Edit: according to Gemini, it is not sold under any other name |

My son (who lives in France) is going to enjoy laughing at his old man over this. |

Oh yes. He will know the correct meaning of the phrase le grand large. I can see what's coming. |
