Quality product. Satisfied with my purchase. Appreciated its use nevertheless started shaving with this Badger On some advice I soak 3/4 in hot water without wetting the base of the hair before rubbing the shaving soap. In the end rinse with warm water and cold water and I wipe the tip by touching a towel before putting it back on its support. All this pledge to preserve the product and have a good shaving preparation Quality packaging.
