mike your picture of the two band Shavemac really looks nice i've always wanted to have a shavemac, love the handle design too marc Thanks, but I can't take credit for it. It is/was on the Shavemac website. It is a density monster. Small knot, but probably more hair packed in than some 25-30mm knots.
