Very nice brushes. I bought the Mondial 1908 brush of the same vendor. Very easy to deal with. I have not used mine yet. I should as I really like the look of it.

Just received an email from my wife, my Semogue SOC Boar (Butterscotch handle) and Semogue Torga C-5 arrived at the house. I should be home on Saturday to open the package, get pictures, and start using them...very excited. These were shipped from the Portuguese Factory in 5/5.
I have a wooden brush from Sawdust Creation on the way. Excited to open that up next week!
A beautiful craftmanship from Robert at Sawdust Creation Studio

This Thater 4292/3 arrived today as a birthday present to myself. It's not my first badger (I have an Edwin Jagger Best that I really like as well) but it's certainly my first higher end brush.
When I chose it I wasn't really sure what size I wanted or if I would like the knot shape or if it would suit my face lathering style - but I took a chance on it based on people's high praise for Thater generally.
Working from home today so right after it arrived I had a chance to give it a test shave at lunch and it felt glorious - everything I've ever wanted in a brush and it looks great as well!

Fantastic looking brush. The good old birthday excuse to buy yourself something nice. I've been busy buying new items as well and I think I'll use the birthday excuse too(next week) to make me feel better about them.
Happy Birthday and enjoy the new brush!

Thanks! And Happy pre-Birthday to you as well. It's a highly effective guilt elimination strategy! Either that or convincing yourself that you absolutely NEED it, but that's a tough sell when Silvertip badger brushes are involved.
Let me help you. I have sensitive skin (not really), I NEED the softest Silvertip badger brush available. Maybe my next brush will be softer, for my sensitive skin.........there you go.

You did it! You win (the right to buy guilt free) a new Silvertip Badger Brush! Congratulations!
I don't post too many AD acquisitions, but this week was a pretty good one. I've been chasing a Heritage Rooney for some time now. I haven't used it yet, but the knot is incredibly dense with a HUGE bloom. The Varlets fell into my lap. All of them from very generous members here.
Couldn’t decide on which to order so I ordered both (as you do). The tatara razor is also new [emoji2]

I've just ordered one of these after roughly a decade of synthetics. Can't wait to try it out.
Got this Chess 25mm Boss (changed from Gamechanger) brush from Turn N Shave for $15 shipped. That was difficult to pass up, and I dig the look.

Nice! That looks like a solid synthetic. I got couple of TNS synthetic knots so excited to try those out.
Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to using it tomorrow morning.
This arrived today
Wow beautiful brush!

Beautiful brush! Made to order custom or off the shelf? I have a custom on order and it has bee 6 weeks. Just curious on timing if yours was custom. Thanks.
