Prep: Shower
Razor: Unbranded French
Blade: Kampfe Bros. Star
Brush: Vulfix 404 Handle, Cashmere 24mm Synthetic Knot
Soap: Vitos Extra Super
Aftershave: Astral Cream (soft)
EDP: Chanel No. 19
My first shave since last Saturday as I've been flat on my back in bed with a shocking bout of sciatica that I have had for seven weeks and was going, when it returned with a vengeance. The first time for many years I have missed a single days shave.
This new synthetic knot arrived yesterday from Ottawa Canada and I fitted it into my old 404 handle (here is the link)

My first impressions are that I like it a lot, quite how much I am unsure as yet and I need a few shaves with it, it is a finer fibre than the Tuxedo knot from the same company and as a result is easier to flex/splay, this suits me just fine but I fully accept that many will want a stiffer feel, I am and have always remained a big fan of the original Plisson knot which many find splays too easily, this knot is nearer in terms of flexibility to the Plisson than the RazoRock Plissoft. I will report back after further use.
Regards
Dick.
