That boar knot is getting too floppy for a big lofted, looking like a bloody paint brush.Le coq LC

Looks good to me. A floppy brush is a fine thing if you like scrubbing to make your lather. Or even if you don't.

G’day Speedmaster. Can’t say I have tried the new Valobra soap. I can say, however, that the discontinued Valobra Glicerlanolina, which I use as a pre-shave, can also be used to shave directly with. It is the classic tallow-glycerin-lanolin base.
Yeah nah. It is a little floppy but I don't mind it. It's a cheap Yaqi knot and while it starts out relatively soft it fails to evolve, like a decent boar, into something great.

In memory of my dear departed father, who finally gave up the spirit after 2 year fight with lung cancer and chemo last week, I have been wearing a trimmed beard in the style he wore for the last few decades. After the service on Friday took to the beard like a hot knife through butter with P160 and Grifetto touched up on a thurry.

An evening shave (!!) after a 1100km drive from Katherine to Alice Springs. Never been to the latter before, and had absolutely no expectations whatsoever, having never even seen pictures of the place. It turns out to be really quite lovely, and a great place to celebrate my 60th birthday. Here's an evening view from my room (DoubleTrees by Hilton):
