After taking forever and a day to ship, my Plisson fiber synthetic took the actual trip across the Atlantic pretty quickly, and it landed today.
My god this thing is gorgeous. My crappy photo doesn't do it justice. Deep, varied colors on the the resin handle...just a beautiful horn pattern. Compared to the Cade brush, it is noticeably heavier. It's a little less dense too. And curiously, a bit softer. At first I thought I was crazy, but after feeling it 3 and 4 times with the Cade brush, it is slightly softer. I don't know why that would be (maybe the difference in density?) but there you go.
I'm a happy camper. It was worth the splurge.
