She did a wonderful job. Those short handle olives look great and yours looks better than most!

Thanks! I'm a recent convert to the Brotherhood of the Boar, and I'm excited to use a bigger knot. I love my Semogue 820, but it is on the small side...

Camera can't do them justice, especially the shavemac handle.

Got this in the mail today from @Rudy Vey
Rudy harvested the knot from a Sterling 31mm Zenith boar and made a gorgeous Tulip handle for it. As usual the craftsmanship is outstanding and pictures really don’t do this brush justice. Here it is next to a CH2 for scale.

Holy Jumping that was fast shipping! I ordered the TSN Final editions on Jan 15th and they arrived today the 18th. The even had to go through Customs!

Post wash

The Mistura is 50/50 on the left and the Finest is 26/50 on the right!

I am going to use the Finest in about 10 minutes!! Thank goodness the numbers are different or I would have a really hard time telling them apart!

Those look great! It's a very nice shade of red that they chose.

Agreed! I love the deeper shade

Thanks guys. It might be a bit darker due to my lighting. The sun is setting so there isn't much sunlight coming in from the window.

Dscosmetic 26mm dense 2band badger hair shaving brush with good backbone

Not a bad brush shipped for all of $15.

If anything, I think it rivals my former very expensive brushes from Germany.

Love the handle size and pattern.

@rockrabbit I really like the swirls and colors in that handle. Looks like a great value brush

I love the bulb/fan hybrid shape of this knot. Is this a synthetic or three band badger?

Chubby 2 Best badger butterscotch handle. Lost about 100 hair at the reception + palm lather + first lather but it seems ok now. Was that normal ?
Any way the brush is gorgeous !
