    • Brush: Mühle Purist (21 mm silvertip badger, ebonite handle)
    • Razor: Mühle R41 GT Berlin edition
    • Blade: Feather new Hi-Stainless
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Braeburn
    • Post Shave: Chanel – Bleu de Chanel

    Sweet Braeburn for an on theme SLS. I smell delicious.

    • No complaints about the brush today? Have you attained th acceptance-stage?

      • Oh, I had simply gotten tired of complaining about this abject failure of a knot. This is the brush equivalent of a shit sandwich. It is difficult for me to find words for how garbage this product really is.

        I will pull or dremel the knot out (pulling might be impossible since it holds roughly 17 Badger hairs) and put in something decent.

        This episode has annoyed me enough that I'm considering writing to Mühle and to ask what the fuck they think they are doing.

        The only acceptance here is that I wasted money unless I change that knot. There cannot be acceptance of the knot.

        If you're interested in experiencing just how shite this brush is, I'd be happy to loan it to you before the exorcism.

        Apparently I had some pent-up complaints that needed airing 😅

          Festivus season is nearly upon us, with its airing of grievances

          That's really kind of you, but after some reflection, I think I'll pass on this one

        • Tbh it almost seems extra insulting to put a bad knot in such a pretty handle…
