Guys this little monster has arrived today just after I finished my morning shave so it'll be tomorrow befor I can use her. But here are some pics.
1st-straight out of the box
2nd- next to my Duke 2 in best
3rd- with a test lather and clean
and finally post bloom.
The whole brush to me is enormous, a 26mm knot and a loft of arounf 52mm, the handle height is around 44mm. After a clean she feels very soft but with some backbone. The handle is well made and appears to have very, very faint swirls on the base, that would be indicative of turning. The finish is very good. If this brush is anything like my FS Scubby it should turn out very nice indeed. I'll let you know in a few days how she fares.
