The face feel is really nice....so soft with great backbone. I noticed this morning that the center of the knot is still slightly damp but the edges are a little crispy.
More to come...

Hah, your photos are better than mine - nice job!
Glad you're enjoying it so far - it will continue to open up, and should really hit its stride around 7-12 shaves (based on my experience and early feedback).
