Hmm!
Todays trial with the floppy knot, i fitted 4 loom bands to try to give it a bit more backbone, during lathering these dropped into the handle tightening the base of the knot and it has worked to a degree, i did overload the knot with soap though its a real pity as i do like the handle, more loom bands?
Every thing else was spot on.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all

Happy New Year all!!

Today I used a 1959 Gillette "red tip" with an Astra SP blade. The soap was Arko, the brush a boar.
