Is that a pure badger? How do you like it?
Yes it's pure, to be honest it's almost too soft for my liking. Definitely different than the Simpson pure that I've grown fond of
The green onyx and imatation pearl handles are real beauties!

Beautiful brushes there.
On Monday the 22nd I put in my order and I received it today Friday the 26th. I'd say that was quick
167 handle in tortoise
24 mm DO1 3-band fan knot set at 50 mm.
It is a stunning brush with a dense knot.
I cleaned it by soaking in anti-bacterial soap for a few hours and then did a test lather with the worst soap I have - Trumpers Sandlewood. Yikes what great lather I produced and in a fraction of the time it took with my other two badger brushes. There was a piece of one hair that released.
I'm very pleased and would not have believed how well a brush could produce great lather.

My 21mm/50mm D01 murders hard soaps. It produces outstanding lather faster than any other brush I've used. I can't recommend it enough. To be honest, though, my 19mm/45mm Shavemac Finest isn't far behind. Finest is the better value, imo. D01 for sure if money is no object, however!

The brown/black 142 handle with a 24 x 48mm D01 fan knot is here!
This is my last brush purchase until 2013 (ahem) so I'm glad it is such a beauty
Only 2 weeks from order 'til delivery. Shavemac is banging 'em out.
This is the exact brush I want.
DO1 3 band pictured, DO1 2 band flat top knot on order.
This is the FLAT top knot?
Drill Instructor, no, it's a fan. Hopefully, I'll have the DO1 2 band flat top knot next week sometime.
Thanks and sorry, I confused foto and recent order.
