Clive, it decided to be kind to me for this first shave. I paint-brushed it against my sweatshirt before starting, and it let go quite a few bristles, but none at all once it touched cream. It's the biggest brush I've ever used (I got lather in both ears), and I really liked the scritchiness of the pure badger.

I should have waited a bit more for the cream to dry out, but it worked like a charm. I did not lather the cream/soap in the Tupperware, so the picture is a bit misleading. I easily saturated the brush with soap and build a thick lather on face, with results on par with any of my quality soap.

horrible shave this AM full of nicks & razor burn. i am certain it is caused by my first time use of the kent soap & not geting the water to soap ratio correct.
Gillette fat handle Tech/Swedish Gillette blade (second day with this combo;great shave)
SMF III Brush
Derby Menthol Cream (I expected Proraso, but this was really mild, loves water)

Edit: Thanks to whomever fixed my multiple post fiasco. I was running late and couldn't fix it because I kept timing out.

Thanks Glenn, the extra glycerin soap really boosts the under-performing creams like C&E Sandal and Tabac, so I can enjoy their scent and get a good shave at the same time.
How's that Gentlemens Refinery AS working for you?
Thanks,

Excellent stuff, a bit heavier than Harris Milk, very soothing. I'm not sure if I would buy it again at that price though (it was very expensive to get it up here).
