Great looking brushes! I took the brown one ("extra" horse), and like it very much, after a couple of weeks of use it "broke in" very nicely.
Don't hesitate to put your feedback too!

Hi Zip. It takes about 5 to 7 full multi-pass shaves to get the factory manufacturing odors out of it. Don't baby it or hold back. Use it vigorously, and rinse it before and after with hot water.

I am thinking that with the Euro being down at the present time, I might consider a backup Professional. The s...

I also ordered the Vie Long Pro barber brush from giftsandcare.com, the seller was quite nice and checked for the cheapest shipping available (I paid 3.00€ instead of 9 for European shipping, as I...

When I first tried DE shaving, the first thing I really appreciated was the irritation and pulling free shave.
I never looked back, even if I could continue with cartridges (fair results) but much more expensive.
