Result: 4.5/5.0 Surprised I could see this morning. I'm tired. Tried the LTD Edition brush for the first time. A bit weak in the backbone, soft bristles though. I suspect, for the price, the Shavemacs are going to beat it easily. Needs more shaves. It has that wet badger smell. We'll see how it does by the end of the week. Almost time for me to wrangle all the badgers and take
a group photo. I'll wait for the new brush to come in. Should be here tomorrow.
