Plisson - Worth the cost?

[kbuzbee]

You may be rivaling DrP for a serious brush collection. Very nice indeed!

That's a big challenge to meet! Peter's collection is beyond words!

Oh I know. Just that every post I've seen in the acquisitions thread is of a new brush (or 3).

To rival DrP would require a couple of lifetimes worth of collecting...just ain't possible if you start NOW...

 

[kbuzbee]

Ken...you may regret visiting this thread! Jon is already cursing me

I doubt it Sameer, the only Plissons I really seem to like are the 20s and I just can't justify that at this point. Peter has posted some amazing shots recently and I look, and drool, but no urge to pony up that kind of cash

That's just not true, everyone has a price point I can't even imagine what Peter's would be.... $300K? $500k? Point is, there IS a price. It IS possible. Just not reasonable or likely

Say what you want Ken...I see a #20 in the near future

I wish you were right. If anyone wants to pass one along for $200, I'm in

Otherwise.... Too many great brushes already in the rotation....

Here's the one I snagged recently. It's an extremely nice brush. Still determining whether, as the title says, it's worth the cost.

I like it...I really like it...it's a beauty

my 2 (hey where is the cents key?)

I was ready to fire off a rapid retort, looked at my keyboard and thought- WTH is it?

And I'll be adding another today (only 1 though!!!)

IMO, they are not worth the cost.

Why would I get a #8 clear plexi Plisson in European White for $305US

when I can get a 163-18 shavemac in Silvertip for $84US?

YMMV, yadda-yadda-yadda.

Thanks,
Mike

When you'll have the shavemac, you'll still be dying to know if the #8 clear plexi plisson in European White is worth it or not !

Incidentally, I have a #12 in Clear Plexi and it's a lovely brush

Of all the old thread resurrections, this is the one I am happiest to have back.

Yes, it is a lovely brush!



...but why would I want a Shavemac when I could have a Semogue 1305 in boar?

Just because, that's why!


And I still want one of those hunky Plissons in legal ivory. (Even though I already have a Sem 1305.)

Just because....

Now where's my camera, need to start posting some plisson pictures...
