Tuesday, November 12, 2024: SLS - First Fanchurian Impressions

  • Brush: Grizzly Bay - v24 Fanchurian 26mm badger
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C
  • Blade: Bolazano - Superinox (4)
  • Lather: Stirling - Arkadia

  • Frag: Stirling - Arkadia EdT

Today was my first shave with this v24 knot that u/BossHoggins10 graciously loaned me. I've wanted to try a "nicer" badger knot for a while now, so I'm definitely grateful to have the opportunity.

This thing whipped up a mean lather quickly, and the handle felt fantastic in hand. It's a super dense knot that's very soft on the face.

Comparing it with the Yaqi 2-band badger that I already own, it's definitely higher quality. I'm not yet sure if it's worth the price difference, but it's for sure a step up.

Arkadia gave an excellent lather, as always.
