Razor: Gillette Toggle 

Brush: Zen Shave Crossbones 24mm Romera Manchurian 

The toggle speaks on its own, so I’ll just nod and continue thinking, yessir, that one right there!

That ROMERA MANCHURIAN is one of my best/fav knots. Med strong backbone with incredibly soft tips, not as dense as many of the NEW knots today…… provides incredible flow through and NOT a lather hog. The only knots I have that come close but are certainly more dense is M&F Finest at 26. My ROMERA is 24 with bloom to 25 and I can crack on with enough yoghurt consistency for 3 people in under 8 minutes!

Gorgeous Kit right there!

Thanks!

I concur, the Romera Manchurians are fantastic knots. I have three brushes with Romera knots, but I like this one the best. I agree with you on the flow-through and it does whip up yogurt consistency in no time at all and again you are correct with the M& finest knots. I really like the Blonde badgers that I have from M&F. 

I have two toggles in my den and was lucky enough to trade for one and buy the other pretty reasonably from someone who went back to straight razors.
