New Knot-Whipped Dog High Mountain
I had Larry at WD put one of his new High Mountain Badger knots in my Bethlehem Olivewood handle. It is 24mmx50mm. It took a bit more clean up than most and takes a little longer to dry. When dry, it seems a bit scritchy. But, when I used it this morning, it was very soft and lathers like a champ. After one shave, I am very impressed.

After shave number two, I am liking this knot even more. It is very soft but has good backbone. It is a lathering machine!
You can compare the photos from day one to day two.

Seems to be blooming nicely. Larry is a great choice in a vendor too. IMO

I bought the same knot from Larry recently. I had the same first impressions that you did. Give it another few shaves, it keeps getting better. Very soft on the tips but has plenty of backbone.
On a side note, I really like that handle. It would look nice next to my Dovo with olive wood scales. If you ever decide you don't like that brush anymore...Lince and PatrickA51 like this.

Nice brush! I just got one but haven't tried it yet. I like that the brush seems soft but it's got sort of stiff tips. Let's see how it breaks in.

The brush you are showing is my next one that I want, to get from Larry. I already have one of his WD Silver tip brushes. I will use probably the same handle. That is on my WD except in Navy Blue.
