Picked up some Indian alum.
Name says it all! Not quite as flashy, but definitely necessary.

I was always attached to Somerset Simpsons for many years but these new synthetics are awesome. I’ve really taken to the angel hair. Really soft and gentle on the face and great for back to back shaves.

Max, is that 'angel' hair just a cashmere knot or something new, entirely?

No idea Celestino. Never tried a cashmere. Milton at TurnNShave calls it angel. Either way great lather and softness.

I pulled up the sales photos of the two side-by-side, and the Angel knot is a fan-shape, while the Cashmere is more of a bulb. There are so many synthetics these days that it’s difficult to keep track of them all. And it’s also clear that factories are willing to make almost any conceivable kind of synthetic knot to order. (That is, if the order exceeds 1,000 knots, or whatever their minimum happens to be.)

I have a Cashmere waiting for a handle. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the Angel knot tip, vtmax! Yours are the first impressions I’ve read about it.

Maggard Razors had a sale on the iKon SBS razor with a choice of iKon handles.  I chose the Bamboo handle.

I figured I'd give it a try, Max.  Lately, I've had a case of RAD and I have to admit it has been fun.  I am not in the market for very expensive razors, no matter how good and tempting the reviews.  In fact, of all my recent DE razor purchases, the Parker Variant I purchased from you comes out on top, followed by the Ming Shi 2000S and neither of those broke my piggy bank.Big Grin
