Thanks Andrew. My first badger too. Jim knocked this one out of the park as he does with all his brushes.

 

Nice pic, I'm looking out the window at 3 feet of snow still. Want to trade places? Lol

 

Thank you Andrew. We have had temps in the 80s last week so all the flowering trees are in bloom. The temps are back to a more normal level this week in the 50-60s.

 

Great photo and lineup Amigo.

 

Great photo of some great gear, Mark! I went with the Alluminati brush after much dithering between it and the Eight Ball. But it wasn't an easy choice.

 

Do you know what knot he used?

 

Beautiful setup, Mark!

 

Thank you, Andrew!

 

Excellent picture, Mark!

 

Hi John
21mm pure badger , That's from his blog when he was making it .

 

Thanks, Andrew!

 

Very nice! Your brush has quite the bloom, do you find it overly floppy at all ?

 

Thanks! It’s not floppy at all. It’s a two band; it’s a perfect balance between soft and backbone- it’s soft like a nice badger and has the backbone of a boar. I guess it has become my favorite brush.

Shaved early this morning, but then had to run to an early meeting and had no chance to post until now. Pulled out the Gentleman again and had a very smooth 2 pass shave. Finished using even more Gentleman awesomeness with the ASB.
I have to give some thought as to what I’m going to do with March. Hard to believe it is only a few days away.
Have a great day all!

 

Awesome photo Jason! How are you liking that knot ? Did you pull it out of the handle or Randy?

 

I pulled it. Visually it looks like it sits too high, but actually has a lot of backbone. Really nice face latherer so far, I’m quite happy. This handle is one of my favourites as well, which certainly doesn’t hurt.

 

I have my eye on a 36mm brush that I'd Like to pull the knot from. How did you get the knot out? Any Tips/Tricks ?

 

You could always use a shavette...hint hint
