The $1000 one is Scott’s “don’t waste my time pricing”. Lol

Buy a handle and ship it to Scott. Then buy a knotting service.

Have to say I am very happy with a DFS+ for a normal daily and leave the ATG BBS shave's for special occasions.

Mate a whole new batch of razors that provide BB dolphin smooth WTG as well

Do you get BBS on the cheeks and sideburns WTG? If so, the Lupo 95 with a Feather may come close

no chance.. not even a r41 will get me there

if I run my hand downwards it feels bbs

but when running my hand upwards in that area can feel the hairs

hey your the boar man, any boar u can suggest for me?

Wonderful shave tonight. I used a Stearic acid - Coconut oil soap I recently made and I'm wrapped. Shaving soap can be very simple.
Razor - Dr Balfanz Dovo 6/8"
Soap - DIY MDC clone. Ingredients only * No one knows if the clone recipes are close. Doesn't matter as they work so well.
Single pass with minor touch ups for DFS.
Brush - Red Gum handled Boar.
Straight alcohol splash. No home alone face.

His brushes sell out for $400us in minutes every single time. He can ask for $1000 for a one off custom. $100 of which is donated to a charity.
Declaration brushes are a currency if ever I saw it.

Ahh we're taking straights here, not single edges artist club razors

Figured as much - maybe ATT SSH1 as suggested by Nav

I can highly recommend ZENITH unbleached bristle olive wood handle 506U XSE but if you dont have the patience to break in a stiff boar Semogue 1305 Premium

https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/reviews/semogue-830-boar.157655/reviews

I have both of these and they are great.

 

[StratMan]

Thanks @Holiday and @bald as ill take a look

Thanks @Holiday and @bald as ill take a look

so guys, from the semogue 830 and 1305 only difference is the bigger handle on the 1305?

I have noticed you have specified 1305 premium, but have seen it listed as 1305 superior and 1305 pure, are they any different?

@Holiday what do u like about the zenith over the semogue?
