I still LOVE his handle material, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. If I weren't obsessed with these octagonal handles I would need one.

Thank you.
The knot is all I was hoping for. Good backbone, soft tips, doesn't seem to hog lather. I've had two or three Thater two bands, and while being very soft, they just didn't have the amount of backbone that I prefer. I think this is it.
I believe the loft could have gone to 52, maybe even 53 and it would still meet my preferences.
And Peter at Wolf Whiskers was stellar to work with. He is a true artisan and gentleman.
Well, the Shavemac 2-band will have a little brother on the way. Ordered a 173 ivory handle with a 24mm x 54mm 2-band silvertip.
Got word that it shipped out with an ETA of next Wednesday. Was hoping for it to ship a little sooner as I sprang for the $20 Fedex Priority, but hopefully this time it doesn't get held up in the mail for a month.
I agree, nice hair, good brush.I still believe this is one of the best hairs that is being offered, at the moment!
. . . It's interesting that there is such a difference between my Shavemacs and Savile Row, considering that they are allegedly the same knot. . .
I WASNT FOND OF THE D01
Maybe the same manufacturer, but distinct differences. SR's are not an off-the-shelf Shavemac knot.
