My M & F Emilion arrived today - it was shipped Saturday. I first contacted Lee a week before that - so 12 days total, start to finish. As fast as any U.S. order (I'm in Canada).
The knot is exactly as described - 24mm/50mm. Haven't tried it yet but the experience thus far has been second to none.

Scritch - how long did it take Lee to reply to your initial inquiry?
A few days.
I'm on day 3 of the wait - I think I'll give it a week before I bother him again
@Scritch: Would you the share specs please?
The knot is 24mm/50mm. The handle is 58 mm long and 37mm diameter.
I've never tried a Rooney Finest but it sounds like it's very similar. The tips are not at all gel-like as per Rooney Heritage. There is a little scritch to it but it is very comfortable scritch; less than a Duke 1, which I found a bit uncomfortable - but still there. As a frame of reference, I found Thater to be completely scritchless and my Shavemac Finest to have just a touch more scritch than this one.
It's got superb backbone and is a bit less dense than a Heritage.

By the way - I am totally impressed with the Emilion handle. I face lather exclusively so I was concerned the handle might be too long; it isn't for me and it's very ergonomic (I have large hands). And if you bowl lather, I imagine this grip would be top-notch and the handle long enough so it won't disappear into your mug.
Regards, Bradley
And the wait begins - payment in GBP sent to Mr Sabini!
