With that said, I can live with a razor just as you described. It would be a nice break from the large gap WR1's.
Is that a Declaration brush there Kehole ?
I’d say it’s more efficient than the 17-4, or roughly equal to.
And yep, that’s a Dark Amethyst LE B5
I'm so gonna enjoy the WR2. While I prefer blade feel, I have no issue losing one if the efficiency is there. What blade are you using?
That's a great looking brush. I got my hands on a B3 and quickly had a custom B6 on order. It's great.
I started with a wizamet. That’s my usual starting point with any razor. I also like Astra SS & SP, Gillette 7 o clock yellows, kai, pol and feathers in these razors, at least the wr1. I’ve found they’re not picky. This one may be different, don’t know yet.
Thank you. Scott has me hook, line and sinker. I’ve owned almost all the high end badger brands and have sold all except 2. Declarations and Brad Sears select 2 band.
B3 is my least favorite batch. 5 and 6 are straight up the best knots I’ve ever used. I have too many 5’s and 6’s to admit
