Shavemac VLB 2018 LE

[MPH]

Looks great...

Except for the synth!!!....

LE will hopefully be offered as both badger or synthetic knot.

Base is a hexagonal shape in other words it is a hexagon across a horizontal plane. Flat ridges to allow for better ergonomics when turning. Yep the black bit.

That looks very nice. @Nishy how many revolutions are you getting from full loft to shortest. I guess i'm trying to work out how many increments in loft you could have

 

[Mr Bigmem]

Also just thinking out of the box this could evolve into a new type of switch back. You could use more than one type of knot per handle

That's a great look!

It doesn't actually stop as such it's a continuous rotation. Once finalised you should have no play in the loft when in use, it's very close to being perfect. I just used it for tonight's shave, loft lowered, it was special. May have to get over my badger ego.

awaiting this sweet brush.

I don't know if I can join this group buy as I have spent a lot recently, but based on my taste I am making a suggestion. I I like big handles that let me reach the knot easily without circles in the middle over the surface. I did a photoshop suggestion. My 2 cents. I hope I can get this knot soon!

Plenty of time to save those pennies the brush is still in the prototype stage. It needs to be working with no issues before it is available, so extensive testing.

I hope the knot has gel tips

Nope I'm afraid it hasn't. Tips are more akin to the 'cloud soft' description. Loft obviously changes the face feel, but without affecting tip feel.

If the tips are cloud soft and no scratch that is OK as well

Yep zero scratch even at a very low loft. It is a brilliant fibre.
