I just pulled my 20102 out last night to go into my rotation. I cleaned the ones I've been using about seven weeks now and pulled out some different ones to use for a couple of months. It's a great brush, I've enjoyed it I don't know how many years now. Thanks for a good post.

Hello Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Thought a nice fougere shave would be good for today since everything's budding out and starting to grow. Decided to go with West Coast Shaving and their "Fougere" soap / splash set from their house line. Nice spicy, green scent a good lather built with the WWBW "Canyon" ST brush. Two passes and I finished with the matching splash and a thorough dousing of Penhaligon's "English Fern" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
