Incoming - 8/1/2026 Just scored my first brush from Rad Dinosaur Creations! Added the 26mm High Mountain Rex Silvertip Badger. Can’t wait to see this one in person!

Got it this morning. Did an appreviated one pass and it compares to the RR Recurve 1.20. Fit and finish are outstanding. Weighs only 51 grams. I used a Bic chrome platinum blade which are very sharp.

Mine just landed this morning in the USA (Miami). Should have it in a few days and will give my impressions. I do have the RR Recurve 1.20 gap and will compare the two. Shield razors are made very well.
