My Wolf Whisker's custom brush finally arrived.

...and I must say Peter's craftsmanship is unparalleled . As you may recall, my vintage Kent badger hair brush experienced a catastrophic failure -



Given how soft this knot is I could not bring myself to discard it. Instead, I asked Peter to set the knot into one of his wonderful creations. Here is the end result, with which I am extremely pleased -

Here is a close up of the knot which is 23mm in diameter and set to a loft of 48mm -



The handle shape is "Tuxedo" and the color scheme is "View from Hubble" -



In its original G.B. Kent and Sons handle the brush was a little too floppy for my tastes; however, on Peter's suggestion, setting the knot to have a loft of 48mm was the perfect choice to offer a greater density of bristles and more backbone to boot.

Not surprisingly, I highly recommend Peter of Wolf Whiskers to anyone considering having a custom brush made.

Peter's work always is amazing. This is a very nice brush that got a new life! Enjoy the shaves to come.

I am really loving the lathering experience I am getting with the brush thus far! Nice density and backbone make for easy generation of lather with just the right amount of water retention and flow through of lather. The only thing I noticed is the brush does take a bit longer to dry out. It's not a problem though as I have plenty of other brushes to choose from and seldom use the same brush twice in a row.
