I like the few Semogue brushes I have. They're all different and very usable.

March Madness is heating up! RIP Noble Otter, you had a good run.
My first shave with this Rocket HD went really well. It shaves like a heavier Super Speed and feels much nicer in the hand.
MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 18
It’s Tuesday fellas. Good shave with this soap again!
First day back home after 5 travel shaves. Great shave with the smooth Swede and the Stank®.
According to my ~~inofficial~~ unofficial tally, March Madness consolidated around typical brands yesterday, with CB, Spearhead, BaM, Stirling, and HoM taking the lead, and the TSF effort showing less than during previous days. RIP Noble Otter 🪦

I admit I was surprised that SBS outlasted NO.
Rocket is an active member of the community, posts SOTDs daily, etc. I think that makes the difference
I know. I've seen Dennis posting and interacting, and of course, Ben is a regular. Who from Talent Soap Factory participates?
Nobody, the TSF brigade is just a pet project of @[email protected] that got a lot of traction. The artisan is a Lather Games sponsor, but otherwise not involved with the sub AFAIK.
It wasn't even my idea, I'm just having fun with it lol
