Fumbling about.

A brush I got a while ago and just been waiting on the knot to get here. Dont recall if I posted it or not. This handle is the tallest I've seen. Showing it next to a yaqi, grizzly bay, and a wildwest brushworks brush for size comparison. One question I have is is the inside supposed to be sealed or does it seal with the silicone glue.

1. Assured (Dollar Tree) Kabuki brush, for applying makeup. I store it in a pill bottle.
2. Omega 63171 Pure Badger brush with stand.
3. Made Rite 303L, Badger Cased. Stored in a pill bottle from the pharmacy.
4. elf Kabuki brush. Yup, another soft makeup brush. VERY soft synthetic. Store it in a pill bottle.
5. Smart Shave 100% Pure Badger, wooden handle with a nice case.
6. AP ShaveCo Cashmere knot, Blue Lagoon handle. Stored in large pill bottle.
7. West Coast Shaving Honeycomb Green Tuxedo Synthetic Knot, SB WCS-106.

I bent a length of wire into a brush drying stand. If I feel like it, I'll make one from cedar or pine.
 
I received a brush from Elite Razors yesterday, and I used it today for an awesome result. It's a beautiful handle with a 26mm Mother Lode knot which feels very soft on the face and distributed lather very nicely. Plus, I think the color of the knot works really well with the handle.

Today, I received my order from Shavemac (I was starting to get nervous). It's the 167 shape in Jade with a 26mm synthetic fan knot. I'll probably get to use it for the first time on Monday morning. In addition, I realized the box could be used to keep open tucks of blades, so now I might avoid buying a storage container for them.

I love CaYuen Workshop's recent output.
 
I just got this Wild West Brushworks handle back from Milton at TurnNShave fixed with a 30mm Tip knot. Cannot WAIT to use it this weekend. It's the first empty handle I ever got, way back last summer, and the first I've finally gotten around to having knotted.

I received my OUMO SHD handmaster from the frighting for 2020 series.

Nice. I got mine a bit ago but I got WT knots instead of HM. Oumo tend to glue the knots fairly deep so they have mid-high backbone. Good for HM but WT knots are quite scrubby at that loft. Enjoy the brush!
