This looks great, now to find out if I beat the clamoring masses.
Morris & Forndran Group Buy Discussion Thread
- Thread starter djh
- Start date
The first photo was as delivered. The rest were post-bloom. I received two bulb-shaped prototypes. The first has loft of about 51mm. The second (in the photos) is 49mm. Understand those were both one-off brushes. There will undoubtedly be some variance, and it absolutely will not work in the context of this group buy to make specific requests. Lee will target an average of approximately 50mm, as described. The reason the second (final) prototype had slightly less loft is that Lee wanted to sink the knot in the handle a tad more than he had in the first one. He was still dialing in at that point.
Sent in my order as soon as I saw it as well. Fingers crossed. Love everything about this brush - the material, the knot and the hybrid M7/Emperor shape. Hats off to Ken!
Ken, thank you so much for organizing this Group Buy. The brush looks wonderful. I hope everyone who gets one really enjoys it.
Thanks.
Here's a bit of advice. I took a set of photos of the brush, both before and after use, on the day it arrived. It was raining, so I all the shots were taken indoors, with the resulting reflections you can see in the pre-bloom photo.
The next day was sunny and windy. I set up to take some shots outside, and while I was adjusting focus, a gust hit the paper and knocked the brush off onto a concrete patio. No major damage, but no longer pristine. (I think it will polish out, though)
Don't do that with this brush.

Design looks great! Description of the hair density/softness/backbone/etc sounds perfect for what I want...and a tortoise shell handle? Awesome!
Sounds great - it is not a big deal to me at all. I like having the boxes but they end up just being another item for me to store in the den.
It does make for a nice presentation though if say I were to hand the brush down some day
Beautiful job Ken. Thanks for putting this together. I hope I am able to get one.
Haha! You had ME at M&F
Thanks Ken for designing such a beautiful brush. I see 100 very happy people out there! Hope I can be one of them!!
I've received a few invoice requests via email. Please check and make sure you sent your request by PM. Please don't, however, resubmit a request by PM if you've already sent one previously.
PMs work much better as 1) I can associate B&B usernames with requests, 2) I don't have to track information across platforms, and 3) I can downoad PMs directly into an Excel spreadsheet, which is a huge convenience. Email is fine for other stuff, but for the ordering process please stick with PMs in accordance with the instructions.
Thanks.

I sent a PM before work this morning. Also hoping I made it in time.
Ken, can you tell us what the handle material is called? It sure looks like a faux tortoise but I just wanted to check.

I'll be surprised if this is not one of the fastest sell out of a group buy in B&B history. Sent a PM and hope to get in but if not those who did are in for a real treat.
Have the 100 brushes all been claimed yet?
Please be patient. You've done all you can do for now. I'll post updates when it's ripe to do so. I am presently sorting stuff. I have double PMs, mis-labeled PMs, emails instead of PMs, PMs that say no-thanks, etc. It's all good, but takes a little time.
Thanks

Hey Ken, great work on this. Looks to be a beaut.
Great looking brush Ken!
No worries. A few did because the caught an address mistake. That's a lot smarter than having a brush shipped to someone else.
It's truly all good. Just not instantaneous.
