The only problem I’m seeing with my Semogue brush is the consistent loss of bristles. Mostly, I think they are just breaking. Other than that, the performance with Chiseled Face soaps is spot on.

The GEM is still holding up and I haven’t even palm stropped it as much as last year. Mostly it just sits in the razor, but I’m sure it’s getting scummed up pretty well. Zero irritation from my typical two hybrid passes.

What are the odds I have a spectacular blade versus just an average blade and coupled with improved technique I’m getting terrific results?
