It's quiz time - what differentiates this brush from most other fluted brushes in the Rubberset stylee? And why? First to answer correctly gets a prize.

I'll have a stab:
The Outlaw has 7 flutes. The 400 rubberset style has 6.

Nailed it straight away - I think it makes it more comfy to hold.

Thanks Steve, that was a lucky observation.

PM me your address you won the prize.

And what a prize, Alpha's T400 tribute with a lovely Arctic Fox knot just arrived today.

Thanks Steve. Look for my next SOTD.

Stumbled on this one in the mall today. I heard a lot about the original Maca root cream, has anyone tried both versions?

Not a bad cream but the original version is slicker and performs better in general.

Received in this morning’s post a Fendrihan house brand silvertip shaving brush and a bottle of Finest American Blend Aftershave splash. I will use both for tomorrow morning’s shave. The brush is soaking and I’ll wash it well with Leonhardy brush soap and give it a couple of palm latherings to prepare it for its initiation. I plan to use the brush for travel because I have yet to find a synthetic that I like to lather with, notwithstanding how quickly synthetics dry. I’ve tried 4 different synthetics and they have all left me cold. What I like about buying from Fendrihan is how quickly my order is fulfilled: I placed this one Sunday evening and it was in my clammy hands this morning, Tuesday.

Is the knot synthetic? Anywhere to buy?

Yes, it's a synthetic knot. Similar, but smaller than the Alpha Outlaw brush from the recent Wickham spring group buy. Availability, you'll have to ask Alpha @vlasta

Cedrat boise is a fave of mine and I own the Ideal Cologne. Shame about the cedrat sprayer, it’s truly awful. Juice though is great.

It's a good job you don't need much in terms of spray to get good performance out of it.
