Romera Manchurian bulb.

After trying peaches for a week , the knots in these are superb!

So much so I sold my M&F to pay for it and still get to pocket $80 [emoji6]

Wow mate sounds sweet, what's she going to look like....got a pic?

Where do you buy something like that?!

Euro is down compared to the AUD currently so it's good buying currently. (Avoid the States though...) [emoji13]

Thought I was converted to boars....but this, this is hirsute sexiness.

Just had two Solarstorm X2 LED light heads come in for the bike. And some bolts which are uninteresting.

This is the brush that hooked Young Buck. My 24/52 Romera brush in Manchurian finest. The finish of the handle was not as good that the one in that photo but the knot is exceptional.

Don't go making suggestions like that, alas you have me suggesting we combine shipping upon mutual purchases.

Just got my hand on PAA Cavendish and SH Honey Ale. Love the scent of the Cavendish. The honey ale... I'm not sold yet. It's sweeter then I tend to like my scents.

I used Cavendish this morning. I won't use Honey Ale until I'm sure I'll keep it, otherwise I'll sell it unused.

Nice looking brushes. They look like they've been set at the right loft which surprisingly is not always the case with a lot of brushes out there.

Could you guys give some more info on those brushes please? Which hair type (fan or bulb) and what loft do you recommend?

The brush was made for a French shaving forum. Loft and knot size were optional and I went with the majority view. Being completely knot/loft illiterate, I decided it was best to go with the crowd.

Hard to recommend anything other than what I have. Mine is a 24/52 in a Manchurian Finest bulb. @Young Buck was impressed but I think he ended going 26/52. So many lofts and knots to choose from so I played the safe bet and went with the majority. 48mm would limit it to face lathering and 54mm to bowl. 52 seems to be a sweet spot for both but then again I am a complete novice. I have no regrets with my decision.
