"H" is for Hipster by Stirling @Joe Hackett

Wednesday April 8, 2020
2020 Shave # 104 ( 520 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Razorock Lupo
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Black (3)
Brush: Cadre 2nd Anniversary Brush
Soap: Stirling Hipster
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Stirling Hipster
Fragrance: Penhaigon's Lothair

Had a GREAT shave with the Stirling Hipster from our 2nd Anniversary grab bag. Scent is a winner for me and glad to have the set. Thanks Rod and Mandy for being a Vendor here and supporting the Cadre !!! hipped things up with the 2nd anniversary brush which sadly is not a winner for me. The knot seems to be set way to deep prducng too nuch backbone. Still an attractive brush and glad to have it added to the Cadre Brush collection but if with more use it doesn't loosen up I will need to re-knot it to make it usable for me. Topped off with Hipster Splash and Lothair from Penhaligon's. Video uploading. Have a Stellar day Cadre !!

I love the matte finish on the brush, but the knot has not garnered any love. Do you know what the diameter of the hole is?

I think it was said to be a 26mm but I can grab some calipers and check........yep, 26mm

If you do re-knot, please post your choice and process!

If I do, I will. For now I'll use once in awhile and see if it loosens up some.
