How big is this brush? 24mm by 49mm loft?

BTW, what do you like about Dolomiti for in shave protection?

Superb Sunday
WSP is underrated. The lather is top notch, and the balm provides smooth and chilly finish with a very good tobacco scent. I've used this soap almost twenty times without making a noticable dent in it.

Yep. 24/49mm. One of the early "gel" batch Stubbies. Though I am lately more into 28mm knots these "old" Rooneys are just fantastic brushes!

I love the SV soaps (especially the beta 4.0 to 4.2 versions). Dolomiti is no difference here: slick and great after shave feel. The only SV soap that I am less enthusiastic about is Flying Mango 4.3. I decided to get a few inventories on the 4.0-4.2 before they are gone. I already missed out on another Manna di Sicilia as the 4.0 seems to be gone everywhere. I have rededicated my empty Nuavia bowls to SV. They fit perfectly.

CRSW Glide Olfactory Hue today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Vintage Gillette “Spoiler” SS in the Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with YSL M7 Oud Absolu EdT.
