A luxury shave, but only because I have to wake up early and would rather just run out the door in the morning.

I added a nickle (possibly the thickest USD coin? Maybe 2x the thickness of a dime?) to the handle to raise the loft of this knot, and felt a big difference. It's either the slight increase in loft, or the knot broke in a little bit. Or both!

Either way, this knot is back in contention for permanent (temporary) installation.

Some people see Noble Otter as a brand with lots of popular, safe scents. I see it as the brand with Batters Up and Hamami, two of my favorites, and neither very popular or safe.
