What are you waiting on to arrive...?

I had a short conversation with the shop owner on Etsy. They do not sell the knots as separate items.
Still want to hear if you enjoy the brush. That's a beaut!

 

Anticipating the arrival of JR#130!

 

That is great. What are you going to do for a knot?

 

I'm waiting for my package to arrived soon which are:-

1 Clubman Special Reserve Cologne
1 Fine Accoutrements Superlite Slant
2 La Toja Shaving Stick
1 Stirling Barbershop Shaving Soap in a green tub
1 Refill Stirling Barbershop Shaving Soap
1 Stirling Finest Badger Shave Brush - 24mm x 54mm
1 Stirling Synthetic Shave Brush - 24mm x 51mm
2 Stirling Finest Badger Shave Brush - 24mm x 50mm Fan Knot 2-Band in a butterscotch handle with black logo & black handle with white logo.
1 RazoRock Wunderbar Slant Razor
1 RazoRock German 37 Slant Razor Head

 

I considered procuring and installing a knot. Instead I opted for the full @Jayaruh Experience. Jim and I discussed what he had available. I chose a synthetic Maggards knot he had in another brush.

 

I like that look. Can't go wrong with that knot either.

 

I am waiting for:
1 Dr. Jon's Anne Bonny Vegan Shaving Soap Vol. 2 - 4oz
1 Dr. Jon's Anne Bonny Aftershave Tonic
1 Dr. Jon's Solid Cologne - Anne Bonny (particularly interested in trying this one)

 

Both arrived early!

 

You've gotta love it when the package shows up earlier than scheduled. (unless your wife finds it before you do!)

 

Haha. My wife asked me "Is that more car stuff?" and I smiled and said, "Nope. It's more shaving stuff."

 

I just ordered this Acevivi double comb razor. It has both open and closed combs. We shall see what the fuss is about.

 

I ordered a beautiful brush from ThatDarnRob on Etsy, it has a Tuxedo Knot. Kinda excited about it.

 

He does some beautiful brushes. I have been eyeing up hos stuff for a while now.

Congrats!

 

Thanks! He does do lovely stuff, I went back and forth with the idea of buying another brush. I guess I'm weak.

 

Looks fun from here! Welcome to the madness!

If you pick either one of those razors, use it for thirty days straight....master the razor completely, you'll be a very happy shaver! It will also slow down the buying and prevent you from accumulating gear you don't need/don't want/wouldn't have bought. Your future purchases will be more informed and suited to your needs, and it will make the transition to new gear fun and not painful. Voskhod is about as good as it gets. Great fibers in the brush you selected as well. Never tried the soap, but it's been around for a while, so it's surely just fine. You did well with your starter kit.

 

Tuxedo knots: killer or filler?

 

I would rate them better than Plisson types for sure. Haven't used mine enough to say if I prefer it over Ubersoft II. Probably.

For how much you like your Plisson, I bet you would like this. It has what I would call a perfect splay.

 

Cool. Plisson is all I am using now. I have an Omega 48, but it never sees daylight anymore. Might have to check it out after NB16!

 

I've seen Jim's handle #22 up close. My Dad uses it. Jim builds very nice stuff, and you're sure to love the new brush!
