The star of the show for me today was my newly acquired Thater 4125/00.
She is the baby of the 4125 series but WOW what a presence.
I was a little apprehensive about buying this because I thought the 21/22mm size would be too small for me but that was certainly not the case. its brilliant at getting in those little nooks and crannies and believe me I have a few.
It feels like a 24mm+ when face painting with the supersoft cotton like tips. Backbone is spot on not too much splay.
I loaded the brush with an considerable amount (50 +) swirls of bloomed soap and was taken back buy the amount of lather provided. Flow through is magnificent. At least enough for 4 passes. A definite keeper.
Now I know at long last what Rob
@Blackmass has been barking on about. I love it so much so I now want a bigger brother to accompany her and its all your fault. (Yet again
)
Single pass DFS with the straight and a single pass with a little buffering with the Clog Pruf.
A delightful Trouble free BBS shave.
Soap as always performed its magic. Great slickness and cushion, warmed up by the wonderful Giles scuttle.
Finished with Alum, Balm and a generous splash from Santa "Dior Sauvage." Delightful stuff.
One of the best shaves I have had in many moons.
Enjoy yours!
