Tall_Paul said:Mine has just arrived. I got a stand, another free brush (which doesn't look great TBH) and a styptic pencil bearing the instructions 'wet and pass onto the interested area'.
Gave it a quick run out using my scuttle and a piece of Klar Kabinett. Very, very impressed at how quickly it generates lather. I shall give it a proper go later.
Tall_Paul said:SmallBeard said:Heh, I feel stupid for offering $47 now, but I will be happy with the brush I think anyway.
Why do people ever use a best offer option, surely no one will ever pay the full BIN price?
I offered about that too. I would have offered $40 if I thought he'd accept it!
I guess the margin on these must be pretty big. Wonder what the lowest offer is he's accepted?

IMHO it knocks the Muhle V2 into a cocked hat. I like the Muhle, but it doesn't compare to this. Not sure if it's down to the density of the knot (which is a bit of a monster) but the lather it produced when I lathered a piece of KK in my suribachi was superb.
Very impressed so far.

SmallBeard said:Received my brush today, but where it was shoved into the holder there's a section of the knot which won't rejoin the main body of the knot.
However the tips are very soft indeed. My test lather wasn't great, I need to give it more chances though. Still not amused with the state of the knot though.
