Looks great. It's a departure from the proportions I've seen you use in a brush handle but it can be good to try different things. I'm sure he will love it.
Received this beautiful brush on Monday. Used it yesterday and today.
The Backyard Maple Chubby, 26mm "Full Moon" Synthetic is wonderful for bowl lathering and is a l so an incredible face lathering brush. Three full passes and had plenty of lather left for another couple of passes and touch-ups.
Gorgeous brush but then again every piece of material @Graydog. Touches turns to gold. He really has the Midas touch. I've been fortunate enough to get 3 brushes of his and love them all. I have two as my brother loved one and I gave it to him so he could have a great brush.
