    Check out the Enlighten bars. They have been perfect for my diet. Those and Halo Top ice cream

    It would be unique with the flattop, that's for sure. The other knots are fantastic, too. Hope you enjoy it!

    Careful. Too much enlightenment and you won't try the shave.

    Frankly, I vote for the synthetic. Aesthetically, it just seems more pleasing. Light, dark, light.

    That sounds like something you want to let loose in your bathroom to clean the tile.

    It is unanimous. Flattop is in the handle and curing as I type. This is going to be a beautiful brush. Thank you!

    Edit: One Cashmere vote came in after I decided. I have to agree that the Cashmere color looked good.

    I thought y'all were somewhere between joking and crazy last year. With MAYhem just fading from short term memory I'm still unsure about certain Crew Members. Having worked my shavette skills quite a bit, I ought to go pick up my sticks tonight. The prestained red ones?

    Cashmere or flat top badger. The cashmere seems to flow better to me, but only slightly so.

    That is a great Donor Knot!
    I've got one stock #10098 with 1-1/2 years service, and a fresh O-Pro'98 just beginning to break in installed the B-400.

    Are Flat Tops making a come back? I've seen a few vintage, but very few currently available. Gotta look hard to find them. If you care to share, who made yours?

    I think any of your three choices would have been good, but the flattop badger does look like it will make a fantastic brush. Is that a Shavemac knot?
