Pre-shave:- Shower
Brush:- Declaration Grooming - 24mm Washington B3 Claus
Soap/Aftershave:- Declaration Grooming - Massacre of the Innocents
Razor:- #58 or Aussie Aristocrat Junior/Rocket HD

Preshave: cold water
Brush: Simpson Berkley badger

Razor: Gem 1912 SE
Postshave: cold water & alam block

Hadn't used the SE for a 3-4 years but gave it a run tonight. Very good shave. Smooth as & fast but I did miss the stropping and joy that straight shaving brings or as I always say, "the theatre of straight shaving". Like all Shaver Heaven soaps, a rich aroma & great lather.
 
Pre-shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Vintage butterscotch Rooney shaving brush
Soap/Cream: Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars shaving soap
Razor: Eclipse Red Ring razor
Blade: Personna 'Lab Blue' (1)
Post-shave: Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars splash
Fragrance: Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars EDP

Was time for a razor change.

Its a beautiful brush and lovely knot but TBH it is a bit top heavy when loaded (even with 24mm). I can see why the heavier and larger Jefferson is most common handle.
Getting too critical picking faults in a DG brush :unsure: must be missing the boars

What you say makes sense. Personally, I like smaller handles on my 24s.
