Welcome to the club.
The open comb is right up your alley. I knew when you won the item that it's new owner was thoroughly deserving.
Well done.

What a way to start the month!

Holy smokes! Congrats! Let me know how it compares to a DG!

I'd like to know how this compares to one of @Srdjan rhodium knots.

Wow, that's a monster of a brush. Is it dense with flow through or a bit of a lather hog?

What an amazing score man as I haven't seen a knot bloom like that!!!
For that reason alone I'll always have room in my den for natural knots as my Rhodium/s are super dense but this one takes it another level... Nice handle too!

I haven’t had a chance to use it yet but from what I gather the M1 and M2 which are similar in density have great flow-through so I expect it to be the same. He also offers the M3 in a “low density” option L3 which said to be similar to Declaration knots.

Those colours are truly eye-popping. And that knot looks stunning. I'm wondering if, like a certain other TOB you have in the BST, this brush will end up being too beautiful to keep...

Mail call from WCS. Shipped 11/10, arrived 2/11 - which isn't too bad. I still have items ordered from September that still haven't arrived in Australia yet (because Asendia).

Just some bits and pieces. I purchased a Karve SB-B plate on my continuous journey towards milder shaves (I currently have a SB-E atm). Stirling Satsuma and GD Bergamot and Lavender soaps and the WCS brand 5/8 straight razor (not shave ready unfortunately, but expected).

Mail Call today

Rushed to get home as was expecting a delivery and boy was I surprised to see this as its such a tiny piece of shaving equipment that feels like it'll whizz across my face/head with ease! Very impressed with the machined finish and the new logo/packaging is very modern and top notch!
As nice as a polished one would be I would expect it to scratch easily and the rustic look feels nice to touch. Shane has out done himself designing such an elegant piece of shaving gear that I still can't beieve I'm holding titanium as it feels like a cheap disposable cart razor!?
Only let down is my lack of any AC blades but I'm expecting some supplies to arrive in the next few days so I can test this baby out over the weekend...
