Result: Continuing my 4+ streak, day 2 of the B&B LTD brush showing that like other people, I think it should have had a little more backbone. It's not floppy but I can tell when it's soaking in the bowl, it spreads out a little more then some of the other brushes. The Pre de Provence soap shaves well and feels nice on the skin. This is the last of the Feather Pro Blades. I do better with the Super Pro Blades so that is what I am going to stick with.
