If you don't mind, I have a few questions.SOTD 24-Mar

Brush: Oumo Big Hand 27mm EX ST-1
Soap: B&M Lavender
Razor: CG Lvl 3
Blade: Nacet
Post: B&M Lavender AS & Balm with Interrupted
Later shave today with the intended setup for the next couple of days.
Just got my hands on this Oumo brush with their extra dense ST-1 synthetic knot. I ordered it in bulb but I would say this is more of a rounded fan.
I was actually very pleasantly surprised overall. The handle is so-so, it's alright but it's nothing special. That knot however, I'm deeply impressed. I've read that it shares some characteristics with the Muhle STF, though I've never tried it to be able to confirm. I can say it has nice face feel, doesn't feel springy so I'm not thrashing lather all over the bathroom, splays well and holds a ton whilst releasing very well.
I would definitely consider another one of these knots, perhaps marginally smaller and set in a more worthy handle. Perhaps I'll have to drop our resident immortal brush maker to fill that void!

Hope everyone has a good one.

I really do hope no one was looking through the window just then, as I would have looked like a right nutcase. I'm stood there brushing my face with all the synthetics I have on hand with a confused look on my face, cycling back through several times before eventually nodding and wandering off. Ah well, needs must.If you don't mind, I have a few questions.
How soft are the tips?
Have you tried it for face lathering or touching up lather on your face?
The handle looks pretty good in the photo and reasonably ergonomic - what is it you disliked about the handle?
Thanks in advance.

Is this softness of the tips, or the feel of fibres splayed on the face?Softness, difficult to put into non-subjective terms. I would say it's somewhere between the G5D (less soft) and the Blackland Signature (Softer). That's the best I could do on that as my face isn't the most sensitive so take it with a pinch of salt.
Face lathering only, I have a bowl but I never use the thing and go straight to the face every time.
Love

I keep hoping that he's going to come back and start throwing out handles again, highly unlikely but you never know!
