Lol. Thank you!Congratulations
I know, another R89.
I just really like their polished resins and chrome plating-easy to keep clean despite our very hard water. And I never rush. The R89 allows for very lazy head-shaves.

Brush stuff
- Semogue 1305 plastic handle (left): finally Semogue, what took you so long! Well-made, two-part plastic handle construction, wasn't sure about the green scrollwork but it provides useful extra grip. The 1305's the only small boar brush I can get on with (I like it a lot) but the previous peeling paint issue drove me nuts.
- Mühle STF XL (25mm) (right): borrowed this to try, loved it but found the handle a bit small and the loft on the high side. So I ordered a chunkier Oumo Compass handle and a Mühle STF XL (25mm) EXTRA DENSE knot (centre). Set the knot lower in the Oumo, no glue bump, plush, plush, plush! (Note: the Oumo handle has a deep 20mm hole but I still had to sand several mms off the bottom of the knot's huge plug to get the desired loft). Knot from Runeman.
