Shave of the Day - 2024

This brush has been in exclusive use since I made it.
Breaking in still, but certainly performing better now than the first few shaves.
Still shedding a few bristles, but not as many as when new.
Might be a small modification coming to it at the base of the knot to try and stiffen up the backbone a little, given it is a very shallow install (tall loft)
We'll see.

Shave Report: Haslinger is one of the few soaps I load straight from the puck, first I bloomed the puck for 10-15mins and then loaded the brush for 20-30secs after which I built my lather in my lathering bowl adding the collected bloom water. The Lather has no scent to speak of and just smells like a creamy bath soap. Wonderful easy going smooth, clean & efficient shave from the Karve Bison, feels to have a more efficiency and little more drag than the Overlander.
