Meant 10 minutes. I first posted (on TSN for a change-up) at 8:40. Jorge's was the sixth brush purchases, at 8: 50.
And thanks, we think the material is very special. And there will be more.
Strawberry Amber Tut was available on the Paladin site today, this guy is on the way!
I opted out of this one, a new home AC took the brush fund to $0 LOL
That's Purdy!
Wow you get all cool brushes. Very nice.
First shave with my new Cleo Disco tonight. Pretty sure it is the only Paladin in Rwanda and likely for quite a wide radius of here! Absolutely loved my first Paladin shave - really got the lather creamy and felt awesome.
Some questions for you experts... the little card with the brush said to mainly paint lather on, not circular motion it to avoid possible brush damage. I'm inclined to ignore that apart from the final even spreading of the lather. Not sure how to load hard soaps and generate good lather without using circular motions and at least a bit of pressure. Agree?

Should be no problems with circular motions. That's almost standard advice with shave brushes. I think it's from before they had serious waterproof glues.
I have a graphite Tut on the way from the lastest release. The new acrylic resin is great:
I wonder if Paladin will ever try their hand at a Polo style design?
I'm hoping for natural material handles. Maybe in horn or dark wood.

Sorry, wood kinda isn't our thing. All of our lathes, both manual and CNC, are metal lathes. That's not to say it isn't possible.

Absolutely, there's a chance.
There's even a concept. But I wouldn't call it a plan quite yet.
In any case, we appreciate the interest.
Horn would be nice. Hell I would be happy with Strawberry Amber Tut like ChiefThunder. 
Must admit, I really dig the strawberry amber rod:

I don't know where we'd find real horn in solid diameters large enough for most handles we turn. And I'm not sure how well our tooling would work with it.
As for Strawberry Amber, we have have a love-hate relationship with that material. There's a lot of variation in pattern and we run into way too many bubbles. I don't know that we'll order any more unless the manufacture can guarantee more consistent quality.

I remember you mentioning that earlier in this thread or another. That's to bad. That is really nine material. Chief's brush looks like static fire. A real show piece.
Now you're just showing off Cheif. You must have one of the best Paladin collections around.
I've fallen in love as of late with the Malachite rod; really gorgeous
