  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps w/Maggard 28mm Silvertip Badger
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic (3)
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Heather - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
  • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavenille - EdP

This knot is great. I don't know what a Silvertip is, but I like it. It's not gelled (I don't think) so there's some texture to the tips, but not enough to feel through the lather. The backbone is very good for most people I'd imagine. Not too soft, not too stiff. On a scale of 1-6 I'd give the backbone a 2.6 -- just shy of medium.
