Thanks, Gabe. I have had this Oscar11 handle with a badger knot in it that I wasn't really enjoying, for quite a few years now, so I decided to extract the boar knot from my Zenith brush as I found the loft to be a bit too high and it is working out very well and it looks great in the amber handle. I love these amber handles. Always have and always will. They are so photogenic. You'll be seeing it more often as I am really enjoying my boar brushes as I have reduced the loft, as in this amber handle, and I have contricted the knots on both of my Omega Pro 48 & 49 with elastic bands.

Solid!

Woke-up early this morning and went on a fast 6-mile run, hit the weights to destroy the biceps and abs, then did five, 5-minute, rounds of sparring - focusing on 2&3 combo strike routines with knees and elbows. Also worked on the Dracula guard. (It’s a Muay Thai thing).

Took a nice hot shower, then busted-out my newest shave soap and balm - Barrister & Mann’s “Leviathan”. (It was on my doorstep last night).

Scent is super unique: Russian leather, sandalwood, coffee, cedar, musk.

Unique scent. Very subtle.

Wifey also loved it.

I paired it with my Wade & Butcher straight razor.

Outstanding choice.

Incredible shave, awesome skin conditioning, and looooooooooving the new scent.

Life is good.
