These knots do an excellent job retaining heat and water and really hold up to everyday use. Joe has been using one for a few months now and says they are extremely durable and really enhance the shave.

I hate to be that guy on the internet complaining about free stuff, but the RSS feed seems to be broken in some way. I noticed I hadn’t seen a new podcast for a while and the feed looks to be full of HTML https://sharpologist.com/?feed=podcast
My feed reader says this: LibXML error 26 at line 136 (column 26): Entity ‘nbsp’ not defined.
I’ll find a workaround for now, but it’d be nice if you could fix it! It seems intermittent – it was working for a while there around Christmas and new year.
Thanks Richard, I’ll check on this right away.
