Today was the maiden voyage of the Vie-Long "Teiste" prototype brush. I had this one made in two band badger with a 46mm loft and it is proving to be a scrubby little brush -perfect for face lathering hard soaps. It is not yet broken in but still performed well with a very comfortable handle. I think I am going to like the brush a lot!
I enjoyed a great shave followed by a refreshing splash of Floid Blue. I am now ready for what will be an 85 degree fall day.

* I want to like this soap, but I really can't. I'll give a few more tries with a boar brush to see if it work better, but if not then to the BST.

A great shave. The Eagle hogs lather as much as any Chubby could, but it released plenty, and I'm not complaining - it was too good a shave to complain about anything.

Brush: Vie-Long "Teiste" Prototype
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Cream: Tabula Rasa Dark Lavender
Scuttle: Bill Bowl
A/S: Floid Blue
The VL Teiste brush did a great job of ginning up the lather from Tabula Rasa (which, by the way, is a favorite cream). The Tradere razor and Polsilver Super Iridium combo did a fine job of eliminating the stubble and the Floid Blue felt great on what promises to be a ridiculously hot day (yesterday approached 90 degrees).
