It is always nice to hear back from a customer who had bought a brush from me. This one took quite a while to make it to the Czech Republic, was stuck somewhere for quite a while. The customer got it and has had some time now to use it, and he send me today this very nice email:
"Hi Rudy,
when I received brush from you, I knew soon that I like the Muhle knot a lot. In comparison with my Omega 46806 it splays more easily and more (Omega has got glue bump higher, so despite 60mm loft, fibers cover smaller area than my 51mm Zenith brush). When I prepare the lather in my bowl, Muhle knot creates for me nice feeling of soft pillow.
The only thing I was not sure about was the comfort of the larger handle. When I held your brush the same way as Omega (with three fingers in the thinnest part of the handle), edges of the handle were pressing to my fingers. So I spent some time trying to find way how to hold your brush without disturbing discomfort.
Fortunately I was successful and now I even prefer the handle of your brush. It is larger, so there is more solid, secure grip for my relatively large hand. Handle feels softer in my hand too, thanks to the knot (almost no pressure is needed).
Overall I see the brush from you as high quality product perfectly suited for my needs. It will serve me for many, many years for sure.
Thank you very much Rudy."
I like to read these emails!!
