December 2016 acquisitions

Received this Brad Sears brush from the drop he had earlier this week.
This was a 'seconds' brush as it's been in storage for a while and the knot looks a bit 'wild' in some places - so it was reduced by 40-50% down to about $50.
Not bad at all when I received it and the Muhle "Silvertip" synthetic feels absolutely amazing.
The handle shape is different but very, very comfortable.
