Show off your TSR 2016 LE Shavemac brushes

On that subject, is there any chance you or someone as equally qualified, could create a thread about brush care? I'm thinking a sticky as anything to do with brush care is lost in the middle of a number of threads.

Would be useful to include a glossary of brush related terms for newbie too. Loft, glue bump, bands, scritch, scrub etc!

Just a thought.

There's a lot of information out there but would be good to compile all the correct information into one place, for newbies as well as those in the know.

I thought that already existed as the Shavemac group buy Just messing, yeah this would be a good idea.

Do not soak in hot water, that is water too hot or even very hot to the touch. I find it causes the hairs to spread in the knot. Perhaps loosening the glue.

When drying don't mash the knot into the towel just brush the towel as though you are painting lather softly at the tips.

I do very much the same as you Nishy, I think these two points are definitely the fast track to wrecking any brush. It's a big step up for me, and I'm sure it is that way for a lot of people.
Like I said, quite a lot information out there, but it's deciphering the right from the wrong. Not everyone on YouTube for example, is an expert in brush care.
Would be good to have stickies on this site for every category, for both the newcomers and experienced to refer to.

Do Admin have any input/views on a brush buying/care thread! I'd like to see a sticky thread with all the relevant and correct information compiled.

Those handles are stunning guys. I love the way the brush takes on an entirely different look as you twirl it in bright sunlight. Fantastic choice of rod material!

Write it and if it's any good we'll Sticky it.

Use it, rinse it out, flick dry and leave to dry - either way up. Simples.

Here's my current badger collection:

And the LE collection so far:

How very restrained of you, Nishy!

Haha I still want to shrink down I only have 1 boar these days.
Carl I'm expecting your collection pics via panoramic!

 

[Sameer Sultan]

Nice...very nice! Loving the colorful handles!

 

[Bechet]

Soldiers in a row - or three. Pics over the shoulder of the front rank.

Certainly that's too simplistic. It needs to say 'only dry or store it knot down if you have a stand'

So this is what I have ahead of me! Really appreciate the pictures Nishy, a gorgeous collection. I am already quite envious, now that I know what they're all about. So which one is your favourite?
