Magnin, a former San Francisco-based, luxury department store). The IM3 is more commonly known as the Snowman or Bumblebee. That brush turns up in the wild very rarely. We were fortunate to have a good friend and collector in San Francisco give us two examples of the IM3 for study. We love the whimsical design; it’s hard to look at an IM3 or Sumo without smiling. But what surprised us is that the shape is also highly ergonomic. We’re pleased to make it available to wet-shavers again. Most will probably find the Sumo best-suited to face-lathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt present, we only offer knots containing what is commonly referred to as 2-band badger hair, the characteristics of which combine resilient (springy) shafts with soft tips. High quality knots of this type are prized for their overall performance. The resilience of 2-band hair confers optimal backbone without excessive density. As a result, 2-band knots typically deliver superior lather production and flow-through without sacrificing comfort in use. We offer these knots first and foremost because they are what we prefer to use ourselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease follow up with an email to let me know if you prefer a fan knot or a semi bulb.\u003cbr\u003eSocket diameter: 24 mm\u003cbr\u003eHandle height: 50.15 mm ± 1 mm\u003cbr\u003eHandle diameter: 38.8 mm ± 1 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paladin Shaving","offers":[{"title":"H01","offer_id":36156824070,"sku":"054TR-004-B17","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/2570\/files\/P1000626PSEws.jpg?v=1781103108"},{"product_id":"falstaff-26-mm-neptune","title":"Falstaff 26 mm Black Night","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paladin™ Falstaff™ handle-design was very respectfully derived based on a vintage (Somerset-era) Simpson Chubby, which to our eyes is distinct from the current (somewhat chunkier) version of that deservedly iconic brush.
