Happy New Year to all!!

Glad everyone is here to ring in the new, with a nod to the not too distant past - can't be 10 years on?

I'll be using the group-buy Chief as my first shave of 2023.

This group buy was something special.

I love you, man!

Sorry for the slow reply. I've been on a break from the boards.

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you. As sad as this may sound (although it really isn't) that was one of the best times I've had. It was Epic, but I'd guess there are only about a handful of us still around here who remember it.

I still use mine often and it rarely loses a hair though has become soft as a cloud.
That was a great time I agree!

Happy New Year!

 

[Useless shaver]

That was epic...and funny indeed!
Glad to be parte of It... Y'know ... We few, we Happy few, we band of brothers..


I use mine regularly and It stopped shedding years ago... Soft, firm and efficient.

All the best Ken and the rest of the gang!

Happy New Year’s

Happy New Years! Will use my GB Chief in the morning.

I can’t believe it has been 10 years since the group buy. My Chief became my sole brush for a majority of those years and just this week, I finally sent it off to be re knotted by Allen Long. I’m sure it was my carelessness that led to the deterioration of the knot and shedding but you live and learn (and 10 years is a pretty good run as a daily driver)

I feel naked without my Chief - my Simpsons Case just doesn’t cut it for me but I am looking forward to getting the brush back soon!

I used my Chief this morning with Haslinger. I bought it in the original offering, and I've used it in rotation ever since. I had been thinking of putting on BST, because, as my taste has evolved, it's bigger and softer than my other favorites.

BUT JEEZ, this is one great brush for building and applying lather and for retention of warmth and moisture. It's big by my standards. But it's easy to handle, and the bulb shape lets me put the lather where I want it. And it has backbone. So it's soft but not floppy, pillowy or wall-of-badger-ish.

It stays in my den.
