I am not a fan of face lathering, especially with a stiff brush. I have spotted some split bristles, so eventually I expect this to be a more comfortable brush. I would like a chonkier handle a little more. It is a good looking handle, but it swoops in a little more than I’d prefer. I played around with the blade angle a few degrees to see if I could get closer, but I’m going back to a flatter angle. I got two little weepers and lots of burning from the splash. Only 1 bristle shed today, so hopefully all the loose ones are done with shedding.
Dry brush after 2 shaves
I decided to take a picture of My Pig Pen. The Copper Scrubby is getting an amazing patina now after 2 years. It was my first Austere August brush in 2022.
