Finally feeling a bit better after 2 days of fever, coughing, and headache, and I had a wonderful Fougère Friday shave to make me feel halfway human again.

The knot in this Rubberset is set deep an is really squeezed into the tight ferrule. As a result, it has by far the strongest backbone of my brushes. This was my AA brush a year ago and I like it a lot. It picks up soap quickly and creating that slick thick mutton tallow lather of Varen worked like a charm. The half hollow Heljestrand felt butter smooth melting through whiskers ATG.
