As they say, it is darkest just before the dawn. So it is with the cost of teenagers. You see them getting bigger and more independent and you realise it is almost over and that you soon might have discretionary income for the first time in 20 years but then before they leave for good they damn nearly finish you off by discovering the university.

M&F/Brad Sears 28mm Emillion Handle in Malachite with Legacy aka Blonde Badger
What is the difference in blond badger and fine knot in feel?
Frank Shave silvertip badger, $50 ten years ago.
Thank you
Honestly I can't tell a huge difference. I have 3 M&F in Blonde & 2 in Finest and they all feel great once broken in.
My most expensive brushes are my 2-band Thater 4125/2 and 4125/1. However last year, I had Rudy (who lives not far from me) replace a 3-band Rooney knot in a T&H handle with a 2-band Shavemac. I'm all for replacing a knot before buying a new brush. I tried but can't load the pics.

My Paladin El Dorado. I waited a long time and did a lot of research (that means stalking our community Brush threads) before deciding. Then when I saw the color, I was running to the other room to get my credit card. I’m in love with this brush, the handle looks amazing and just feels right, the knot is exceptional and the performance makes me giggle like a 5 year old...what could be better than feeling like a 5 year old on Christmas morning, every time you use a brush.
Thater 2 band 35mm.
I don't know about cost, as it's been... 8-9 years now but my then gf (now wife) bought me a thater... I beleive? It was a 4125/1 in fan. Almost doesn't matter how much it costs because it sorta means more you know? I'll get a photo when I go back upstairs later
Having said that, some amazing looking brushes!

Knot notes on the Paladin site state delivered 10/19 - 7/20. Classified/grouped with similar knots: 2CLNJ6, 2CLNL6, 2CLNA7, 2CLNE7, and 2CLNG7. It says they were made to same SPECs by same Producer so only minor variations between them. I’m “knot” very smart about the different Paladin knots but I love it and certainly wouldn’t mind finding another handle/color with any knot from that grouping.
This one, I hope.
