Thank you, it is the largest knot semogue produce at 25mm and I have read some very good reviews regarding it.
I will let you know my thoughts once I have used it for a while.

Thank you, look forward to your findings!

My kit has arrived for my 1st adventure into DE shaving.

 

[Shave to the grave]

My Elite Razors brush arrived today. Unfortunately I did get stung with custom charges, which I could have done without but hey.

The service from Bob has been top notch from start to finish, great bloke. It took 4 weeks in total from placing the order to arriving at my door.

The handle is made from Honduran Rosewood Burl and the knot is a Manchurian Bulb 26/52.

Used it tonight and I'm impressed. It made a lather very easily and felt great on the face. It's early days but I like it a lot.

Here's a few photos. The lighting and my camera skills are terrible. I will take some more in the day light soon.

Nice one Paul. You must be running out of space on that brush stand of yours...

I received this Rod Neep brush I purchased from another forums BST. A 24mm silvertip made by Rod Neep, I have an inclination it is #1810 - Short Retro Deluxe - Briar Burl Resin & Dragon, but looking at the price I paid for it, surely not! I only paid £27. I either got a good bargain or I'm looking at the wrong brush. Whatever it is I like it because of the Welsh Dragon on the collar, a patriotic brush

Cymru am byth! I was, earlier today, showcasing my guitar with Welsh Dragon slate inlay (below)!

What a beauty, contrasts very nicely with the wood. When I bought it it only said a dragon and I couldn't see it in the photo so I was expecting something Chinese looking, tickled pink when it was ours.

I noticed it on the Facebook BST group but, as you said, couldn't see the Dragon etching at all! I don't think I'd have forked out £27 regardless so it was always going to be yours I'm new to the wet shaving game, you see

Hi,
I shall use it tomorrow, it is joining my collection. I have been lucky enough to get hold of a few in their different
boxes. IMHO the best Ever Ready SE. Not only is it extremely tactile, but i can get really nice shaves with them.
A lot for sale at the moment at silly prices, probably £50-60 should get you a nice boxed set if you are lucky.

Where in your opinion is the best place to look ?
I have been looking on Ebay and most decent ones are going for well in excess of £100 !
