What’s new to you?

Just got (yesterday afternoon) a 26mm Turn N' Shave half-gelled Shoat (Boar) knot.

Set it immediately in a handle. Won't try to break it in until the glue has sat for a few days. Hoping the copious amounts of silicone will hold as I seem to really beat up my boar brushes in break-in.

Barrister & Mann Mélange unboxing. Did it one handed, but man B&M does great presentation.

You’d think if it was his favorite series, he’d at least know how to pronounce Mélange….

At least he didn't say "ME-Lang-eh"

If you got the pronunciation form the horrible movie with Sting, then all is forgiven. There was nothing good in that movie at all.

Cantu Shea Butter Pre-Shave Scrub. I'm not completely sure that it actually does much to soften my beard prior to the shave, but it feels good anyway. And by ordering 3 of them from Amazon, along with some other stuff to make shipping free, I got them for $4.66 each, not bad for an 8-ounce tub.

Nice..Congrats on the new brush. I hope you like it..

Adjustable brush???

Yeah there have been several other designs of VLB's

Amazing idea if it works!

They seem to work.....

I have one of the original prototype Shavemac VLB that he worked with Chris Moss ( Moss Scuttle ) on that Chris gave to me along with one of the original prototype scuttles .. They are interesting brushes.. You can go from EXTREME backbone to almost floppy with them.. They seem to work pretty well...
Pics below like mine...

Wow. That's a nice adjustable... Function and class. Thanks for sharing.

I'm surprised we don't see more of these on the market.

Thanks and yes I agree I am surprised also. There are problems sometimes in the design though.. Some designs can be rather bulky and thus awkward to hold and also the adjustment parts can get gunked up with soap residue and the adjustment parts get a lot of wear from raising and lowering the loft of the knot... They are indeed neat brushes though..
