jfim88, very cute dog, and the Mühle brush clearly does wonders for the sheen of his coat.

Charcoal Goods level 2:

A RazoRock Mamba. I recently have tried it and a Timeless 0.68, both loaned to me by a friend, and both gave me an easy BBS shave with my high-quality vintage blades. It was quicker for me to learn the 'sweet spot' of the Timeless, but the Mamba became my choice mainly because of its lighter weight (about 30g for its head vs. 45g for that of the Timeless), which made it significantly easier for me to hold, and also because of its much lower price. I went ahead and purchased one.

Tony Forsyth Prism two-band finest. Measures 29mm x 56mm with my primitive calipers. It's definitely a "man-size" brush.

That is a beautiful brush, Chris!

A BBS-1, not purchased but loaned to me by a friend to try for 2-3 weeks before making a final decision about whether or not to trade one of my favorite Rooney Finests for one of the razors.

Finally got my hands on a 2 band Rooney! It was harder to get this guy in my hands than it was my Wiborg.

Good luck, John, but I think you are going to find it a bit too aggressive for you.

One...more...razor and some CRSW Glide:

Both of these Soaps smell great off the puck! This will be my first time using Mohammad’s GroomingDept Vegan Formula, as well as my first time using Larry’s new “Glide” shaving Cream. Excited to see how these two perform!
