Brush of the day.

Is that another knot that is black but doesn't look like black in a picture?
Hi, thanks for asking. The actual name is 26mm Soft Black Synthetic Hair Knot Orange Handle Shaving Brushes. It is no longer being for sale at Aliexpress. Looking at it closely, it's not entirely black...but sorta dark brownish...

It's the same knot/fibre as the Rainbow handle one a few posts before.

It's the softest fluffy cloud of a brush I own, with the finest fibres but too soft for my liking so I barely use it, and I prefer brushes with fibres/bristles that are on the thicker side of things.
 
Used today. Didn't know at the time but this was the first New Forest Brush. I had bought a knot from the USA in 2009 and someone here made the handle for me as a one off. I added the logo later. It got me thinking. Did my research, figured out all the details, got someone else to make the brushes and produced a first batch of 160 which quickly sold out. Production then began in a tiny workshop in the New Forest and life got busy for a few years. The brush is a 24mm two band knot with a 52mm loft. And it is still a delight to use.
