Use "YSC" code for discount on checkout. Should shave off $4.
Both are horse and extremely good ones too.
I don't know, you can check the link I left in the SOTD thread. I'm sorry to be impolite, but I don't want to promote a specific vendor more than I have to.

I ordered the brush. My total, using the code which helped a bit, was $38.44 with shipping.
It's been a while since I've ordered a new brush. This will be my first horse and my first brush with this particular (longish) handle size and shape. I have the shorter version of this handle and like it a lot (in Manchurian). I'm looking forward to this brush. Horse is a new brush adventure for me.
I've not ever ordered from this vendor before, but have heard only good things about them, and they have the knot and the handle I want. So, why not...
Happy shaves,
Jim

"Extra soft", eh? Congratulations, i hope they make their knots differently than Vie-Long.
But, just in case, here, this is for you:
I bought my Zenith 507U Manchurian and Fatip Grande Nickel from that shop. It's located in Spain, the shipping was fast and mail tracking worked perfectly (Correos). Owner Jose is responsive via this email [email protected].
I don't think you'll have any issues.

This might be interesting...

We warned him before, but SBAD is strong with this one.
If he bowl lathers, it might not tangle. I noticed that in a spanish shop where they sell "Epsilon" horses, they have a warning at the description, which more or less says: "Don't press the brush hard on the soap while loading". In poor words: "Don't splay and swirl". Because they TANGLE, i would add!
They don't explain why! Well, that's why!If he bowl lathers, it might not tangle.

Chan Eil uses soft soaps, he won't need to scrub a puck to get lather.
Well, replace puck with face and it's what happens to facelathering in my case. But if he bowl lathers and with soft soaps, this might work.
He'll just give it hell. If it suck it goes in the back row or BST.

Thanks, but I have the super expensive eBay SS pet comb.
Mine's something like this one, but the prices have gone up. I think mine was $1.66 with shipping or something like that. I hope I don't need it.
Happy shaves,
Jim
I've been a regular customer for five or six years and never had any problem.

I mostly use Grooming Dept soaps now but I give them a hard time + I face lather 100% of the time.
I know how to use the comb if need be. It's just a horsey experiment. I was warned long ago about horse, but I'm not a one warn learner.

Maybe Zenith makes the knots better. In my belief, the problem with Vie-Longs, is because in the middle of the brush, the hair is shorter. So there are a few center hair, that being shorter, are more rigid and they act as "anchor points" or as columns if you will, around which the surrounded taller hair tangles. I never understood this... Normally the center hair is taller in a bulb not. But not in Vie-Long horses! They have some taller hair, but together with short hair and the tangle always happens right there, in the middle...
It's a really cool looking brush. Lathering would be of lower importance if I had one.

I love the handle. It's my first horse, so we'll see how I like the knot.
