So I have received my Milk Churn and I have to say overall I think I am pleased.
This is a quick first look - I will play with the brush for a few days and see how it goes and maybe on the weekend I will follow up with more.
The knot I received has good backbone all be it a little smaller than my norm of 24mm. The knot I have is about 22.5mm x 47
I did a quick washt to get some of the initial funk out (still has some as I was impatient) and went to work.
The hair is Simpsons Best and I found that it is quite soft with virtually no scritch.
I attacked the DR Harris Marlborough soap puck and it took the soap up with no problem. I face lather and it gave me enough for three full passes.
The brush is not as dense as some but that creates good flow-through which helped it to generate a nice lather with little effort.
I used my EJ Razor with a once used Astra blade.
A nice shave was obtained.
On the Handle:
I found the handle to be very unique in style - initially I was not sure about the ergonomics but it in use, it does seem comfortable in my hand. I did think there would be more of taper from the bottom to the top - don't know why - just thought it would.
Anyway -Before and After Bloom:
