The unbleached Boti boar is still too stiff and doesn't splay comfortably, eats soap and the loft appears too low but the tips are softening.

The Atelier is very angle sensitive and it’s not intuitive (for me) in any direction other than WTG. However, when I get it right I’m smooth for 10+ hours.

Hi Paul,
Not intuitive for me either,can get cheeks neck OK..But round nostrils and lip edges very poor, and finish on chin tips lousy. For The Spirit is much better.

PS No need for us to offer each a loan of this one. Noway am I going for a Vector- unless someone sell for a knockdown price or exchange for minty ER Jewel.
