The service from Bob has been top notch from start to finish, great bloke. It took 4 weeks in total from placing the order to arriving at my door.
The handle is made from Honduran Rosewood Burl and the knot is a Manchurian Bulb 26/52.
Used it tonight and I'm impressed. It made a lather very easily and felt great on the face. It's early days but I like it a lot.
Here's a few photos. The lighting and my camera skills are terrible. I will take some more in the day light soon.

Fabulous knot, innit?! (Believe mine is set a mill lower and was from the first batch of knots which only came in one hybrid shape, so probably a bit more toward fan than yours.)

I've only used it once but I'm already a fan. After I finished my shave last night I tried a couple of pratice lathers and it whipped up a storm.

Nice one - I do like these lightweight LP Epee blades. Titanium guard too!... a blade, of sorts, my new epee arrived and I gave it a run out last night:
Love it! Thanks to all who bought items of shaving gear off me to make up funds.

Yeah, I landed on gutter blades for epee from the off. They are indeed light (non-FIE the lightest I've ever seen) and the point really quite fluid on a French handle. Immediately worked in and only get better. The seem to last forever! The Titan guard makes the whole thing really light and very nicely balanced - it's revitalised my love of epee.
You can see from the guard already that I had a spirited first run out with the epee
