Really nice shave today, although I seemingly missing the right side of my face. Oh well. Real story of this shave is the new brush. It arrived yesterday, and this was the first time I used it. It is super dense, so it has a strong backbone, while still being nice and soft. It whipped up lather in no time flat. Very impressed in my first go with it, especially since it is different than my other knots. I have an Independent Synthetic Fibre Knot (UHD) on the way, so I’m curious as to how it will compare to the AK47 knot.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This is my first time using the gold Black Beauty. Very enjoyable. My second time using Taurus. This is a great soap.

Nice looking black beauty! It’s a bit tricky to see from this perspective, is this the short handle version?
I have a P3 Black beauty (just 3 quarters younger than yours) and it is probably my favourite Gillette.

It is the long-handle 109 mm version. The gold ones were limited and released around Father’s Day in the US for gifts as I understand it.
