Sorry for bumping up an old thread, but I just wanted to thank all the brush pushing enablers that contributed to this thread (I mean that in the best way possible). I did end up purchasing a Semogue 1305 from Vintagescent a few days ago and now a Rooney 1/1 is on it's way courtesy of BST. This ad thing is going to get ugly real quick.
Nah, not ugly. Consider these works of art. I sometimes go into my den and rearrange the brushes just to look and and handle them again.
You're gonna love the 1305. I was a died in the wool badger fan until the 1305 arrived and sometimes, now when I am face lathering with it, I take a 2nd look at it cause it's so soft that it's hard to believe it's a boar. Ugly as sin, but works wonderfully.
