Ordered new custom brush (Penchetta)

[EYEdotGEE]

Hi everyone,

Well I asked Tony from Penchetta to make a custom brush and he is sending it over soon but for now he left me with some pictures. It looks awesome and im already really excited to Im doing this fro his PR.

That's the beauty that I will hopefully have by this weekend, although with shipping things to Canada Im doubtful. If anyone cares Ill keep you posted

That is a beauty. Tony also made me a brush. He shipped it out to me yesterday and I should have it by Thurs or Fri of this wee. If you are interested see the thread about ordering a PenWorks brush today. What size knot and handle and type of hair? I will be interested in your feedback about the brush.

Well got the brush today, the pictures dont do it justice at all. it looks awesome. The handle has some heft and really feels like marble and the tips are super soft and really dense.

My question to the people who use silver tip brushes.
I find that I cannot get a nice lather going compared to my pure black badger col. conk brush. Im thinking its because i am not picking up as much soap with the softer silvertip brushes, anyone confirm this or suggest anything

I really like the handle. What is it made out of?

Straight from the website:
Gem Stone is a man made material consisting of 85% stone and 15% resin. Gem stone is pulverized stone into a fine powder then mixed with a resin and cast under pressure. The resulting block material is a wonderfull natural looking stone. Very hard, dense and heavy.
