SOTD - November 2021

[Old Sarge]

Thanks for the feedback, TobyC!

I'm going to start working on my face lathering now that I've gotten a better feel for the amount of water my different soaps require. I know many folks like the badger brushes for this, but for some reason I want to find a boar brush that will work. I was thinking of the Semogue 1305, but after GAW9576's comments about boar brushes in general being floppy, I'm giving it some more thought and I'm open to any recommendations for a boar brush that's good for face lathering.

While the top of the FW and HFT surely take their lineage from the '12 style razors, I've yet to get totally comfortable with the squared off solid bar both of these razors have. That's kind of why I asked you about the Treet solid bar and wondering if it felt any different.

The cap and blade go on your face, the guard is there just as a safety feature.

Generally speaking!   (this is the sarcasm emoji indicating good-natured banter) 

At a minimum, looking at this photo, with a FW the blade stops would have to contact the face. 

Looks like a good thread on boar brushes. I'll read it fully after running some errands. Thanks, TobyC!
