Today's shave was like out of a really sweet dream.  I borrowed a page out of dtownvino's playbook and scraped some ETHOS Bay Rum and Vanilla Safi together into a bowl, using a roughly 2 to 1 ratio.  Swirling some hot water over the soap softened it, and setting the brush to 1 - the lowest, stiffest loft - made quick work of picking the softened soap up and out of the bowl grooves.  Working the suds for a couple of minutes produced a beautiful lather.  FWIW I set the brush to 2 for a little scrub on the first pass, and to about 2 1/2 thereafter.  The Amakuni and ProTouch MG also worked beautifully.  Again FWIW, I have gradually gone from "on the fence" to thoroughly sold on this razor.
