Here are a few questions for you - maybe this will get a discussion going.
1) Your knots are changing all the time. Why? Are you still figuring out the best type of knot to use? Are your vendors changing? Is it natural variation? I'm not looking for trade secrets, just curious about it in general.
2) Is it the same for other vendors as well? If I buy a [Brand X] brush today in [Grade Y], is the knot going to be basically the same as the Brand X brush in Grade Y that I bought a year ago?
I know that others buy multiples of the same brush, but for me - as an only occasional brush buyer - it's unlikely that I'll purchase the same knot twice. It seems to me that an average brush buyer like me is just playing the odds that one from the particular batch of knots on hand is going to suit her or him.
Just wanted to say your brushes are amazing. Have 9 now. 8 purchased from you and one used. I don’t use my other brushes anymore. Keep up the good work.
Still set for 8:00 PM tonight (Tuesday, December 19). We don't expect to put any more new brushes in the shop before mid-January. We'll do our best to ship any brushes purchased between now and Saturday afternoon ASAP.
