A couple of closeups of the Washington after 5 lathers, one with some sun on it:

That's quite a brush. I like the handle. It's evocative of parchment, so I think it fits the name well.

This bad boy is sooo dense and probably needs a few more lathers to keep opening up.  The face feel is really nice....so soft with great backbone.  I noticed this morning that the center of the knot is still slightly damp but the edges are a little crispy.  
More to come...

Hah, your photos are better than mine - nice job!

Glad you're enjoying it so far - it will continue to open up, and should really hit its stride around 7-12 shaves (based on my experience and early feedback).

I may have missed it, but do we just check the site periodically or is there a place where new stock is announced?

As far as I know he just posts it when it's available. I actually like that.
