Just got a number of samples, but the one I'm really looking forward to is TOBS Avocado shaving cream - smells divine to my nose and I've read a lot of good stuff about the performance

How big is this knot Paul?

How big is this knot Paul?

20x55 ish ... the handle is 60mm high.

Advertised as: "Hair length: 50mm, Knot length:58mm, Full length: 108mm" so about right.

Comparison with my Plisson:

Shaving goodies from the USA,
I usually have my equipment from all over shipped to the USA and then have the whole box shipped to India
Indian posts are very notorious for "losing" things, and lot of palm greasing to release the packages
cheers all

Sanskrit, Fat Handled Tech, Feather. One of the best combinations there is. If you aren't going to use Feathers, I highly recommend you stick to the sharp side of the blade box, GSB and Polsilver SI, but you'll soon work that out for yourself. Nice little set up there.

Latest razor for me. ATT R2 with Executive Shaving Braveheart handle.

Thanks, I stick with GSB, Rubies and vintage Wilkos rather than a Feather with Techs. This is a thin handle one though.

I'm really looking forward to trying the Sanskrit tomorrow.
