When I shook out the brush after the shave, the knot popped out...surprised how small it was and how shallow it was set. I'll scrape out the old glue and use some marine epoxy that I have had success with. Other than that, a great shave!

Have a Great Thursday Gents!

Today I stepped outside after my shower and the morning blessed me with the sight and scent of fresh blooming flowers and morning dew.

The brook babbled in the background and the birds were calling the coming of another day.

What better way to begin a glorious morning.

I gathered my Torrey, a bowl, towel, brush, soap, and mirror and added my own bit of splendor to the morning with a relaxing, satisfying and baby smooth shave out on the back porch.

Gentlemen I hope your day goes as well as mine started.
