It's a loupe ... a magnifying glass. Folks who hone straight razors use it to inspect the edge.
What are you waiting on to arrive?

Many thanks.....I am really looking forward to getting this one. I am intrigued by the mixed boar/badger hair and love the colour and look of the handle.Lovely brush, I never had the butterscotch resin handle though, I don't need another brush but if I did........

The knot is great, the best of both worlds but for me the attraction of this brush is the Butterscotch resin handle

Don't fool yourself that you're anywhere near the bottom of it either!

No, you think you've hit the bottom only to find it was a ledge you had landed on and over you go again, there is no way back, give up all hope, you are in the pit of dispair !Is there a bottom.....?

Then you find some new holes like buying expensive rocks to sharpen your straight razors on
. My advice , as with anything , don't spend more than you can afford and other than that sit back and enjoy the ride .

It is true, there are many tunnels leading off the main hole and they lead to different holes, not all of them Shaving related, I have stumbled upon a fountain pen hole filled with lovely Japanese goodies, I must resist!Then you find some new holes like buying expensive rocks to sharpen your straight razors on
Who am I kidding! I must explore!
