Well, Georg. I had originally thought that it would be too large for me, and it is actually 37mm. However, having used it three times, now, I absolutely love it and may need to get another smaller one (32-33mm) from Bernd.
I don't have any issues handling large knots as I learn how to work with them when I face-lather. I actually, now, prefer larger knots, 30mm + and I am finding my other brushes/knots a bit small.

What a whirlwind couple of days it's been. My boy's been in the ER and now at Primary Children's hospital to take care of digestive tract issues. Hopefully only a couple more days.
This razor is fantastic. Totally BBS shave that was SO easy. I just wish I could keep it. Congrats to Ian Patrick Ryan who won it from our drawing on the Wet Shavers Round Table yesterday!

Be Smooth and Shave It Up, everyone!
