Thanks Gentlemen, for all of the terrific photos which have been added to this thread. You are certainly igniting SBAD in some corner of the universe. If anybody has succumbed and placed an order, please feel free to tell us about that as well
After months of resisting, I finally broke down and placed an order a few days ago for a 26x51mm jade-handled Lee7 with a fan-shaped knot. I'm really psyched!
Score 2 points for the Enabler's Team! Great news Mike- I hope that you love your new brush.
This morning's shave. A great collection of kit:
M&F "Eagle"

This handle shape remind me of Simpson's "Eagle." It's like a reverse "Barrel" and it is it's simplicity that sets it apart.
The shape (not alike the "Barrel") just fits perfectly in my hand providing a very secure and comfortable grip.
Like the "Barrel" this is another perfect face lathering brush.

The imitation horn is very pleasing to the eye.

Dimensions:
Handle: 51mm
Knot: 20 x 48mm
Here is my Morris and Forndran (minus the label) with a 24mm knot set at 52mm. I lathered up with C.O. Bigelow. I usually face lather with this brush, it is so dense with really soft tips and plenty of backbone. When I face lather it just gives me more brush to face time

Has anyone else fallen prey to SBAD and ordered a brush?

Hi there,

Both genuine horn, the left is stuffed with Rooney Heritage type hair (03/2012). The right one is Lee's blonde badger (10/2011).
Both about 24 mm at the base of the knot. The Heritage type hair has softer tips than the standard type hair but comparable backbone. Both are just marvellous brushes.
