After first use, I observed: The brush is unsuitable for loading Tabac shaving soap from the original deep porcelain bowl. I feared I'd either break the bowl or scratch the ferrule. So I used De Vergulde Hand instead - flat plastic container. If I want Tabac I can use the stick. The brush doesn't hold the same amount of lather as my 25mm Mühle synthetic, but it held enough for four passes with some lather to spare. It's pleasant to hold and has nice face feel - I exclusively face lather as that's my only prep (apart from a shower). So all is good - the brush is a keeper and the Mühle will get a well deserved rest after 364 shaves in less than 18 months...

I understand the problem loading Tabac or even MFW or anything in a ceramic cup. I am glad you like it though. Many happy face latherings, my friend.

The brush is working out fantastically! Maki g a very nice lather whether by bowl or face lathering. I am finding that I am preferring the longer handle compared to my other brushes.

Thank you jayaruh Jim! The brush just arrived safe and sound and without any Customs shenanigans... It's even better looking live than in photos hehe Will definitely make a SE shave with it tomorrow to honor our great club of selected gentlemen/friends.

TheKing has the best looking robe you know. That counts with brushes. Y'all can argue about second best!!

They are not numbered on the brush, but I sent a "certificate" with a number on it with each brush. The first three went to you, Tom, and me. The others are 4-13. Yours is #1, Tom, #2, and mine is #3.
