My Recent Deruitem Brushes! Thanks Matt!

Got a couple of brushes from Matt a couple months ago but didn't get the chance to take pics and show 'em off. Here they are:

The one of the left is a TGN Finest 22mm that Matt set into a cool handle he made to my specs. I wanted it sized to fit in a vulfix travel tube so I could take a couple of different brushes when I am on the go. He nailed the size perfectly and it fits in the tube great. I have a comparo pic below with the Vulfix. The one on the right is a cool blue Chubby style handle he made for me that I stuck a TGN Synthetic 24mm in myself.. I wanted a full size brush to take travelling and I like to use a synthetic on the last day of my trips because they will be packed wet. Unfortunately I just can't get to liking these synthetics very much, and I really only use it for travelling. I like the blue so much though I wish I just put a Badger knot in it.

Here is a shot of the two travel brushes and their travel tubes. They're both great for travelling but Matt's travel brush with the TGN 22mm Finest set nice and low definately creates a scrubby and exfoliating brush experience that the Vulfix can't. The TGN knot does take a while to dry probably because its set pretty low, so it isn't good to use for travel unless it has a full 24hours to dry.
 
Very nice brushes! You could always order another blue one and set a badger knot in it.
Good luck and i presume you are a Canadian Vancouverite.

Thanks! Yes - another Canadian Vancouverite here, good to meet another. I have been thinking about just drilling out the synthetic and mounting something else in there, but seems like a waste. While I like the blue, there are some other colors I'd like to get so I would probably get another color before getting another blue.
 
and his brushes are good looking! I've seen others from him and --oh yeahs are called for. Enjoy my Northern neighbors!
