I have sent him some pics similar to these just for reference so he can see what kind of thing would be popular.

You never know. The thing is resins are not the expensive part. when we had a Shavemac group buy recently the resins came from Woodturningz in the U.S they came in at $9.99 each and there was enough for two handles so once he decides to give it a go/or not. The resin part will be nothing in the quantities he'll be talking about. Fingers crossed.Just out of interest, the colours he currently uses seem to each have their own significance in terms of Chinese culture. Maybe there's a red handle in the pipeline...
He has told me he likes the idea, I've not heard from him for around 8 days so I'll ask again in a week or so.We know it would pay off for him, big time. But the Chinese are generally quite risk averse...
does it have a good backbone?My new arrival. 24mm Silvertip Atlanta.
First test lather is promising...
It whipped up a lather in seconds. Loving these brushes. I can't wait for Nick to get the 24mm Fan knots in stock.
does it have a good backbone?
So, I think the Maseto brush is a great brush- I like everything about it. It's just that for me, I think it holds onto the lather just a bit more than I like. It won't stop me using it but I do have other brushes that load & release just a little bit better.
Any thoughts?
Which 24mm handle do you prefer? I think the "Atlanta" is based on the classic Rooney while the "Spectrum" have a modern MÜHLE vibe going on. I'm gravitating towards the Atlanta personally (still not pulled the trigger!)
It's the 24mm Rob, the flow through isn't great. I lathered Cella in a bowl with it tonight but it wasn't good.Which one have you got Michael 30mm or 24mm?
I had the same thing with the 30mm and I sold it on.
I had the opposite TBH with the 24mm. Loads of flow through. The most of any of the brushes I own.
It's the 24mm Rob, the flow through isn't great. I lathered Cella in a bowl with it tonight but it wasn't good.
Thanks Rob, I've probably used it 7 or 8 times now but I'll keep on with it.Give it a few test lathers and see if it improves. I've used my 5-6 times and but it worked well straight away TBH.
Good luck.
Thanks Rob, I've probably used it 7 or 8 times now but I'll keep on with it.
Anyway, I've got a 'special' brush arriving soon( ish) which should do the trick...
