If this was just a soap base shootout, Declaration Grooming would take it with Milksteak. It's not quite as stupid-easy to lather as Noble Otter manages with their own significantly-above-average base, but its a stronger performer overall.
However, I'm trying to be more holistic about this, and Noble Otter is going to win most matchups when you include the number of their scents I enjoy and their best-in-class branding. Also, DG entered this matchup with a benched MVP; I've never tried one of their brushes. Tough break!
Going for a woody-aquatic thing today since I picked Firefighter to get my shave started.
