After using the new shavemac all the time switching to boar, make me rethink that the boar isn't as good as I remember on the "feel" factor.

**Yesterday I said that I would like this in a 22mm knot. I disagree with myself. Maybe a 22mm would be great, but this brush is damn near perfect as is. Unless it just doesn't work w/MWF tomorrow and Harris Saturday, expect to see several brushes up for sale...perhaps to include the Dukes.

10 shaves! truthfully though last night i had to do about 1 minute of honing and mild stropping, but today it felt like new. if anyone says "thats a lot of work" youre full of it. you sometimes have to do more to maintain a straight razor.
That's a lot of work. :P
