What happened to the annual Badger & Blade brushes? Not being done anymore?
I think 2016 was the last year that I bought a brush.

B&B Brush of the Year?

There have been some group buys, but no, haven’t seen an official B&B brush lately.
Someone could do the b b brushes for the auction. That would be a great time for them.
+1! I got in on the B&B group buy from Rudy Vey last year: great brush!
I also agree that an ‘official’ B&B brush (labeled as such) would be an excellent idea!
Everyone seemed to rave about that B&B boar but I never knew why. Then again, I never tried one.
Some members get excited about the idea but once the execution occurs, grumbling, bumbling, and stumbling tend to take over from the members waiting. There is a lot of work that goes into choosing the artisan, sourcing, arranging and collecting payments, while keeping up excitement, providing info, and then eventually dealing with those who badmouth the finished product.
If you see a group buy, jump in as quick as you can-its worth it.

I believe the 10th anniversary B&B brush is still available from West Coast Shaving. I think it's an outstanding brush for the money. And looks good too.
I really like mine. The only thing that I think would have made it a little classier is if the gold sparkles were left out of the clear resin.
I picked one of the 10th anniversary brushes up in April. It's really nice, and comfy in the hand. My only quibble would be that I would prefer silver sparkles in the resin to gold, as almost all of my razors are nickel/SS/silver.
Anyone know if this is the same knot as the 10066?
Had a look at their website today. They are still advertising the brush for sale.
This is not the same knot. It is supposed to be a higher quality premium knot than what they normally use in their brushes. That's why the price is a bit higher. The knot is not the same size either.
Yes, I went to the site and saw that they are claiming a higher quality knot. I measure 24mm X 55mm on my B&B, for what that is worth.
My B&B knot measures 22mm x 54mm.
That's odd. My measuring technique agrees with the manufacturer's specks on my Omega 10104 and S10108. If I really squeeze the calipers on the B&B I can get down to 23mm, but if I use the same pressure as on the larger brushes it's 24mm.
EDIT; I should add that I'm not doubting your measurement, but find it odd that our brushes would differ.

Is your B&B brush the 10th anniversary edition?

I just remeasured my brush and I do get a 23mm on the knot. Sorry, my mistake.
Yes, it is.
No worries. Measuring a compressible medium is always a bit questionable. That's why I was comparing to the measurements that I was getting on my other Omegas. You had me remeasuring too!
