Good luck with your flight and working out there.
If you do see them lurking out in the wild, buy as many as you can!

i wonder if i might stumble across such a product

Like others - I have to report paint failure with my 1305 - I've owned this from new and it has been well looked after - it has never been dropped or excessively soaked. The paint just started flaking off - I've read that the finish doesn't do well with extended exposure to hard water but that can't be true in my case. The water here is soft enough to give @Tony'schin anaphylactic shock.I don't want to get rid of the brush - the knot is fantastic - and also it took me ten of your earth years to break the bloody thing in. It has sat on a shelf for a while - using it in its current condition worries me - in the sense - that water will get into the handle over time and the wood will split. No laughing matter - go ask Prince Albert about split wood? I really don't want to lose the knot - I said that before - and am interested in what other people do with their brushes to restore them? Other than that - cracking shave. The Extro Sandalo is not your usual sandalwood - much more perfumed than you might think - nice. I wouldn't try to wear edt or edp over it - the longevity is as you might expect from Extro. And it was gifted to me. All the better. Shave well - one and all - cheers - I.
@ekeko @shiny - and another who reported paint problems with the 1305 - sorry, can't recall immediately. Perhaps we need a support group? It's going to involve sandpaper isn't it?
Yup, I reported my little piggy as looking a bit worse for wear. Currently it’s been put away as like you I don’t want water to see in between the paint that’s left and the wood. It’s been suggested to take the paint off, sand it down a bit and apply a couple of coats of wood danish oil. For me that’s more of a warm weather project so have it in mind to do in the spring. I’m loath to lose the brush as it’s fairly new and just starting to come good.View attachment 98346

The paint on my brush split after two uses from new. I did leave it in soak though for a couple of hours before use to soften up the bristles. I wonder if it’s the green colour that is the problem. I’m going to leave it, it’s starting to look vintage and I can’t be arsed to fiddle with it. Still works fine as the knot is well embedded.View attachment 98346
