Interesting looking shavette you have there. I had to check: US$645 :eek: I hope it's as good as it looks (It looks very sweet indeed) :)

I was amused by the description at their site:
"Aggressive jimping at the top and the bottom of the tang allows for a non-slip grip, even while wearing soap-covered nitrile gloves."

Do you wear nitrile gloves while shaving? I haven't tried that... :ROFLMAO:
 
Pre-shave:- Cold Shower
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
Brush:- Yaqi Sagrada Familia Two Band Badger 22/50mm knot

It is indeed a nice tool and versatile in terms of the different blade styles it can accommodate. Purchased mine when the exchange rate was somewhat more favourable but it was still north of $400.
As for the gloves………… maybe I should test their claim🧐

Great shave for the humid weather right now. The aftershave is unscented and lightly mentholated just enough to get some cool down on the way to work.

Have a great day!
