First use with the Romera brush; I've read of fellow wet shavers having problems with Gustavo be it shipping or the quality of the brushes themselves so I ordered this brush from the 'Ready-Made' section knowing that my purchase would be somewhat more protected. I was impressed with Gustavo and how he communicated with me. He was very quick to tell me that he was monitoring his father in the hospital and he would ship my brush when he had a chance. He posted my brush around 3 days or so after my order and I received it within a week. The finish of the brush was good and the knot looked great. Today's shave was spectacular and I noticed that Romera's Manchurian Finest Fan had a density between the Elite Manchurian and Declaration's B5 so I would say perfect. The knot is already showing gel tips and it's pillow soft. I can say that this knot is one of the finest I have used to date and I plan on grabbing some more of these brushes while I can.

gregcss The truth is that I do not know, but other colleagues do. I'll have to look at it.
