Finished it up with an 18mm TGN Finest Badger knot, set at 45mm loft. It's a tiny little thing and probably won't get used frequently but it's sure going to look nice in my cabinet!
I used the brush this morning (face-lathered with Euro Palmolive). It performed quite well and was able to hold enough lather for a standard three-pass shave. I think I do prefer a longer handle ...at least for everyday use. It sure looks pretty, though!
