This is my setup for the week. I've switched blades from the Derbys to the Israeli Personnas and I went with the bigger Edwin Jagger brush. Not my favorite but it will give me a bigger lather than BBB brush I was using last week.

Last Week:
The BBB brush is a great starter brush. Love it but don't expect huge lathers out of it due to it's size. The TGQ soap probably could have benefitted from a larger brush. It needed more lather sice it tended to fade a bit. Otherwise it was a nice soap. I had mostly 4.5/5.0 shaves with one
day of 3.0 since I totally blew it and gave myself 3 weepers. I was really asleep that day. They stoped by the end of the shave.
