Received today at my end. Black handle arctic fox knot, professionally packed, very smart looking setup. I don't think anyone shall be disappointed if theirs is in any way close to the quality of mine. The handle looks exquisite and that included razor handle was an added bonus.
Thank you to all involved in the group buy and its organisation. Thank you most of all to Steve / Alpha Shaving / @vlasta

Any feedback on the razor handle? It is my first attempt.
It’s excellent, I’ve just had a three pass shave on three days growth with a Gamechanger .84 on your handle. Apricus soap (of course) lathered up with silver fox brush. It was my first shave with all of the group buy kit and my best for possibly months?

The handle is very secure but not aggressive in its knurling.

The knot is very dense and doesn’t really splay at all or like being used in circular motions on the face. Once I’d adapted my technique to painting strokes it built a superb lather very quickly. First pass lather was built on my face then I continued to bowl lather with more water for two & three. You can see below how much lather is left after three passes!!! I had “cleaned” the brush just before by lathering the Apricus in the bowl and it almost filled it! This is a P&B lathering bowl and they are big.
Excellent all round, thanks again.

Patiently awaiting my package, still not dispatched...
I think the razor handle looks great (I HOPE I get a stainless one, I don't like brass :wink::wink:)
The only thing I would change would be to have each band of knurling the same length. I like symmetry!
Minor point and a personal preference only.

Otherwise :wub::wub:
