Hey Friends,

minutes ago i finished my "Saponificio Varesino" shave. Here is what i used:

Preshave: Saponificio Varesino Preshave Oil
Brush: Scott Pavkovich "Chief"
Soap: Saponificio Varesino "Felce Aromatica"
Razor: Toro Mastiff
Blade: Triton R3
Aftershave: Saponificio Varesino "Felce Aromatica"



An outstanding brush!!! Scott did a perfect job. The handle is heavy and the finish is absolutely wonderful. The Virginia Sheng knot holds tons of water and releases the lather very well. A load of 20 seconds on the soap was enough for plenty of rich, thick, slick lather. The tips are so soft that i thought it would be a synthetic. Fantastic!!!

I wish all of you a great time and wonderful shaves. Enjoy and take care of you.

Greetings

Thorsten​
