WOW - that looks VERY nice. How is the knot?

The knot is not as dense as my other badgers and as a result very easy to control the lather.
Is the shape original, has someone been trimming split ends, or were they naturally this scruffy?

Soap - PAA Dapper Doc's Lilac & Fig
The soap is nice to use and the scent remains for some time post shave which is a welcome trait.

Surprised the soap has lasted mate! This is the only one in my den showing the doughnut of death. It's either a very soft soap or may have been my noob lathering technique

That looks like wear and broken hairs to me!

As long as it has enough "body" to make a lather. Would make a great candidate for reknotting too I suspect

After a few aggresssive shaves I wanted to go easy. It is possible to confuse mild with ineffecient. However, this is a mild razor, but definitely does as good a job at cutting the hairs as some of my more aggressive razors. Is the cut as close? Probably not, but is the shave as good? In my opinion, yes.​

The only problem with having multiple razors you love is picking which to shave with each day!!
