  • Brush: Chisel & Hound "Rob's Finest" w/25mm Paragon Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Ozark Mountain - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Musk - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: allMan - Refined - Balm

I like this synthetic knot. I don't like it more than the "Super Plush" in my Wolf Whiskers, but that one is lofted too low and it would require destroying the knot to remove it. I wonder if this one is also permanently set? It'd be nice to swap this one into the Wolf Whiskers handle.

Edit: Rob confirms that the Chisel & Hound brush is also epoxied :) and he had an interesting reason for doing it that way -- it's faster than silicone!
