Test Lathering #109 and #110

I finished up #109 and #110 yesterday by setting a silvertip knot in each. Today, I did a test lathering with Soap Commander's Renewal Shaving Soap.

This is the #109.

 The knot measures 27mm at the handle. The loft is 53mm.

All lathered up.

Rinsed and beginning to bloom.

This is the #110.

 The knot measures 27mm at the handle. The loft is 55mm.

Knots Arrive

Two 23x65 silvertip badger knots arrived today from Ace Shaving in China. I decided that they should go in #109 and #110.  Here are pictures of the dry fitting and then post setting.

Dry fitting.

After setting with silicone.

I will give them a day or so to set and then do a test lathering with each.
