Lost about 3 hairs on the first shave so normal shedding for a first use. I’m probably going to order more for my other brush handles. I didn’t find the knot as dense as the Maggards SHD. Here’s a pic of the knot after the shave during the dry down.
Holy cow, this Gealousy knot is amazing. Having never experienced gel tips on a badger brush before, I’m blown away by the feel of this thing. Really cool...unbelievably soft, yet good backbone (I don’t find mine floppy at all). I will tell you, though, if you’re trying to decide between the 24mm and 28mm....unless they sent me the wrong size by mistake, the 24mm that I got is a HUGE knot. If I were doing it over, I’d be tempted to go with the 22mm instead. I know some posters have talked about buying the Gealousy knot to set in their own handle, but I bought the full brush with the limited edition faux horn beehive handle, and I really like the handle as well as the knot. Just a fantastic brush so far.
Big and beautifulTo put it in perspective, the Thater “Funf” butterscotch beehive 2 band fan on the LEFT is a 26mm, and the new APShave Gealousy SHD 2 band fan on the RIGHT is supposed to be 24mm.
Like I said, it’s a BIG knot......

Is it skritchy?Yes, she is!
Is it skritchy?
Nice handleI got my gelousy 28mm bulb and just put it in my craving shaving handle to see what height I want to glue it in at. I did two hand lathers and wow is it awesome and the gel is extreme. Will be using it in the morning.

Nice handle
So no break in needed?
Sure please doAbsolutely not as far as the softness of the knot but there is a little bit of smell to it. I will post my thoughts on it tomorrow after I put it on my face.
