Cool stone Steve!
How do you like that brush?
I like it. It did shed plenty during the break in, but that seems to be over. Softening up nicely, loads and releases soap with ease. Smaller dimensions work well for me, comfortable handle and generally decent brush for what I paid. I was curious to check out the Simpson boar offerings. I prefer the Simpson Barbican at 22mm, with a larger and more dense knot. I don’t see much love for either brush, but I’m happy with the ones I have.How do you like that brush?
