What do you think of the Tut? A keeper?

Luxurious without being too big or too soft but thirstiest of all brushes to date. Not a soap misers brush :)
First impression definite keeper but need to adapt my technique for such a thirsty brush. Maybe more of the Marco Method (TM).
Recognising a preference for less dense knot with a bit of scritch and backbone. Am I chasing BOARing brush qualities in a badger???

Contrasting shave with the Nacet compared with the Rubie as on #4 it felt good but lower settings dragged and didn't shave as close. Certainly prefer the Rubie and even Wizamet in my adjustables. Always great using this brush as its so light and polished to a mirror finish. The badger knot easily whipped up luscious lather and this scent has grown on me. Together with Imperial Rum, both well worth a revisit once I finally runout...

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!

I wonder if TF was keeping the best for himself. This brush feels as good as it looks
