  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations - w/AP Shave Co. Cashmere 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. (Genco) Straight Razor - 5/8 Half Hollow (7)
  • Lather: Zingari Man - Amir - Soap
  • Post Shave: MW - Bay Rum - Aftershave

A quick 2 pass luxury shave. I finally set a knot in my Rad Dinosaur Creations handle. I don't know why it took me so long to try a Cashmere knot -- after hearing about them I've always figured it's right up my alley, and everyone was right. This knot suits me perfectly. https://photos.selfhost.ing/share/Tuzv8J_KKXsOcTBxqgDhoydop5TR8yFH_REx884JWLEQhVceXgSVOASt0H4vJm3RcCM

I set the knot using a 3D printed spacer. First I tried one 9mm tall, then decided 10mm would be better, increasing the left a bit more. I think I nailed it, and this was much much easier than stacking coins, washers, etc. If anyone needs one and knows the general dimensions (height is infinitely more important than diameter) I'm happy to print a few different heights and send them your way.
