Has anyone purchased or had the chance to inspect a Marco Finardi "Marfin" custom brush? They seem positively amazing and true works of art. The pictures all look outstanding, and I am considering purchasing one, but am hesitant at $350 since my $45 Whipped Dog ceramic badger works fantastically. This would obviously be an indulging purchase, seeing as how no one ever NEEDS to spend that type of money on a brush, But I would love to get one nonetheless.
How is the quality? How is the break in process? How well do you think they will hold up through time (referring to the finish of the handle, because it can always be re-knotted)? Thanks for anyone who has an opinion, and gracious enough to post about it. OF COURSE, if you have pictures of on owned, please post them. And for anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, but is interested, these brushes can be found at Italianbarberdotcom.
