PARADIGM/POLSILVER :: DORIAN :: SAPONIFICIO VARESINO
Another great shave from the Paradigm. Two passes did the job. The Dorian brush is gorgeous and the ergonomics are outstanding. The knot has ample backbone and good flow, though after two or three lathers still feels a bit rough. There are very dark hairs distributed throughout the knot so it may not soften much, only time will tell. ​

Sumptuous pic, Chris. Love the stump as pedestal. As I mentioned before, the Dorian is stunning. Hope it softens a bit.
