Result: 4.6/5.0 I brought the new Shavemac into work. I figured two Shavemacs at home was enough. I'll be rotatating a couple of brush out of rotation shortly. The Tweezerman can be a travel brush and the other low performing brushes can just be tossed or given away. I had ato use a lot of water on the TGQ soap to bring up the lather. No worries mate.
