It's been a very long time since I last got this brush out, as the finish is no match for Troy's. I really should give it a polish myself. The knot, however, is great. It's the scrubbiest of my synthetics, a real lather-master and a prodigious soap muncher.

Fantastic close shave with the Parker 26C open comb razor.
I got this razor for a bargain price its a fine example (in my opinion) that you don't need
to sell your left nut to get a good efficient and well built razor. (I paid $19.95 with free postage from a vender)
This is my 2nd shave with this razor and blade combo I found the Voskhod hit its sweet spot this time.
If you like a good close shave give the 26C a go you won't be sorry.
The Goodfellas' smile Savage is a fine soap and is already one of my favs (only used it twice).
Great thick lather that doesn't dry out before you finish the pass.
I'm also a fan of Lucky tiger bay rum its not over powering and great value in its large bottle.
One pass WTG/ATG done no touch ups, nicks and no irritation.
Cheers.
