Saddened to hear these tales of woe. As mentioned in an earlier post, I ordered a custom brush from Gustavo & it arrived two weeks to the day after. As it was a Christmas present to myself, I refrained from opening until the big day & when I did, Wow what a gorgeous thing indeed. I ordered a Rustic Chubby in Bubinga with a 26mm x 50mm Manchurian fan knot & the hair , is sublime with the softest gel-like tips that make face lathering an unashamed luxury. I had the usual black stain leaching from the handle for the first couple of uses which is aparently normal but given the low prices, it's a very small price to pay. On the subject of price, it's interesting to compare prices to other Manchurian offerings from rival makers, especially if using the discount code TSN which gives a 10% discount. Gustavo's prices are exceedingly low considering that they are fashioned from African/South American hardwoods & not plastic.
I hope those that are still waiting receive their brushes are as satisfied as I have been, when they eventually receive their goods. It would appear that I simply got lucky which is unusual as normally my luck is so bad that if I fell into a barrel of tits, i'd come out sucking my thumb.
