Truthfully, I think any of the Rooney Size 1 brushes (Style 1, 2, or 3) Super Silvertip is much better and, at $76, much less expensive. And the G. B. Kent BK4 at around $70 is a great brush for soap or shaving cream. I have a Simpsons Chubby 2 Best, and it’s far from my favorite brush.

Sometime try a soap from <a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Honeybee-Spa-Soaps_Shaving-Soaps_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ6QQftidZ2QQtZkm" rel="nofollow">Honeybee Spa</a>. They're even more economical and have a great range of fragrances. I particularly like her shave sticks. I really like Mama Bear soaps as well. Sometime try a soap from Honeybee Spa.

Note - past tense. Since this original entry was posted, I have moved all my sites from DTH to a KnownHost VPS. So far, so good. The KnownHost support team have all been super. With the VPS being so much faster, all my forum members are loving the move. Until last week, I was completely pleased with my experience at Downtown Host. Note – past tense.

Frankly, I probably didn't give it a fair enough test, as witnessed with my Sputnik experience. The Sputnik in my Merkur was passable, but in an early Super Speed, it was great. The Zorrick was hard on me and I didn't try it in another razor, I just pitched it. I think I need to get my hands on some more Zorricks and try them in a Super Speed or a Krona, to see if the results are any better. The Derby blades have always worked so well, I was getting close-minded about the options. I think the Derby will always be a good 'go-to' blade, but after seeing the difference moving a Sputnik to a Super Speed made, I may have stumbled on a new combination.
