Just arrived today. It's been a long wait but worth it. Quick palm lather was outstanding. Holds a lot of water and has plenty of backbone and sweet soft tips. Can't wait to try her out.
It's a 25mm "Extra Dense' Silver Tip. There are knots that Rod sells with his brushes. It looks and feels to be an outstanding knot and I haven't even shaved with it...
Very kind, thank you. I had my first shave with the Dreadnought and it was very good. Nice soft tips, and enough backbone for a great face feel. When dry the tips are a bit hooked and crunchy.
LOVE that brush !!! You said " its been a long wait " does Rod have a waiting list .. how long does it take to have a brush like this made? I will be checking into his brushes .. that looks fabulous - Congrats !
Thank.s Yes Rod does have a waiting list, I think I got on in August. He's a good communicator and he'll let you know how busy he is. You can see his schedule here: http://www.pensoftheforest.co.uk/schedule.html
