Vie-Long Horse hair brush (Hybrid)

[Doryferon]

Hello my shaving friends
some of you will remember a problem that i had with my H14831M Horse hair brush
I decided to send it back with some comments to the GiftsandCare.com and Mr Juan told me that he we send it back to Vie-Long for inspection
The company accepted it,i didn't want again a 65-35 knot and i ask them to put a 50-50 knot,they answered me that maybe the handle has a problem due to the re-knoting procedure and they offered me another similar handle
I think that is from the 14033M,the whole job will be FREE of CHARGE for me !
The brush arrived,here are some photos from the first "wash out",White vinegar soak and first bowl lather with soap.

Thank you for watching my shaving friends !



Generally speaking this brush differs from previous,a little bit in the handle but in the knot also
The 65-35 was a tough analogy for me,i was not satisfied from the lather and i didn't liked that gap in the centre
This one in much better,gives back more lather and in my face isn't so tough.
Many thanks to Mr Juan of GiftsandCare.com and to Vie-Long for the way that they treat me as a customer
They show respect for me and professionalism.

That is a very nice brush. Excellent work on the inside of the acrylic (silver knot base covering).

Congratulations to Vie-Long for stepping up and resolving the problem you had with the first Brush, the 50/50 is a fine all-around knot having a moderate-firm backbone and softer tips than the 35/65. The tips will soften after a couple of months or ~20-25 lathers, I'd recommend bowl lathering for your first 10-12 lathers to soften any scritch from the Tail Hair. That's one of the more interesting handles they offer, the three-sided shape aids with a comfortable grip, enjoy your new V-L.

I've been contemplating this style of handle from Vie-Long for some time now, does it come with the clear stand in the pictures?

I am glad you like my brush
Thank you very much for the advices also.



No the stand is from another buying some years ago,helps me in presentations
The brush came as it is in the first photo.
