I notice the dye coming out of the dark part of the bristles. I'm not sure how this bristle differs from standard bo...

I soak my puck for a minute with hot tap water. pour it off & load the brush, it makes as good of lather as anything else I've tried. Williams is my main soap. A shot of Proraso makes a great superlather. I do the same while Im showering and use a boar brush and I get a thick lather from it eas...

Teiste, Taylor's Lavender was one of my first soaps, early this year. It's gone, and so is the box, so I can't read you the ingredients. It didn't perform quite as well as my Trumper and D.R. Harris soaps, and I converted it to a bath soap. The scent is wonderful, though. It's a sweet lavender, not...
