Can you measure the lofts? It could be the picture but to me the 24mm appears to have a slightly taller loft, that would explain the greater bloom.

I roughly measure the 24mm knot and the loft height is about 55 or 56mm, and the 30mm loft height is about 54 or 55mm.

is this a 2band ?

Supposedly but there's some more whiter hair poking at the base of the loft! It's very soft and far springier/stiffer than the Silvertip from YaQi.

King Martino sent some christmas gifts from Colorado, USA. He knows we love TATE's cookies and See's candies. Can't wait to try these vintage shaving goodies. Martin, crazyest shaving buddy.

And yesterday I meet with King Caballero and in addition to bring me his companionship, friendship and good conversation, he did it with a wine from his land.

2mm can make all the difference lol.

I agree with your assessment by the way, 24mm Maseto's perform much better for me too.

eShave Mach 3 travel razor which I requested for Xmas. It can be taken apart and stowed in its accompanying travel tube. I've used it a couple of times whilst visiting family over the holidays and I like its weight and balance.
