Taconic Shave Brush & Stand

The knot is noticeably dense, so it whips up a thick lather in no time even with a harder soap. Mixed badger feels like a nice middle ground—scrubby enough to exfoliate but not harsh on the skin. I've used it every day for a week and it's holding up beautifully.

The stand holds the brush steady between shaves and the dense knot whips up a thick lather that lasted all three passes. I've had cheaper brushes that shed constantly, but this one has stayed solid after a month of daily use. Exactly what I needed to upgrade my morning routine.

The mixed badger knot is denser than my old synthetic, so it whips up lather way faster—though it sheds a couple hairs each shave, which hasn't bothered me much.
