I ordered a Silvertip with a firehouse handle about a month ago, and Larry said it would take 4-6 weeks to ship, which seems perfectly reasonable to me, for a custom brush. Now. That it's been about 4 weeks, my anticipation is really starting to ramp up, and I starting wondering; for those of you who've ordered a brush from WD before, does Larry send out an email when he ships the brush, or does it just show up? I'd appreciate it if anyone can share their experience.
