^^^THIS^^^
is sat on my eBay watching pile and is seriously giving me the horn.
I find it a thing of beauty and more sexy than Kelly Brook. I like wood, wood is warm - plastic is cold and unnatural.
Never heard of MecDarment, and in the light of my Hong Kong badger brush not showing up I would like a badger to try out ( both my existing ones are bristle). My finger is poised over the buy button.
Anyone got any thoughts on this?

For a little more than that money, I'd go for a Fido... Guaranteed to turn up, and a great performer whichever one you get (not sure if he has any of the 2201 left...)

I looked at those, the 2211 looks nice and well worth the money, the only thing that puts me off is the resin handle. I really have a dislike of plastic things. Wood, metal, leather, glass and so on I like, but plastic I dont like.

I have even thought of asking my local glass merchant who has made some bits for me in the past (John Ditchfield) if he would make a handle for me out of tempered glass and then asking one of the brush merchants if they could add a knott to it. But I wouldnt know where to start with regards the design spec. I have to say something in frosted pale green or white glass would be truly sexy.

Its a nice looking brush and with the stand seems to be good value for money.

It does look on the face of it very very good value. However it does claim to be extra large so it might have less hair than a toothbrush which wouldn't be much use with a glitzy handle and a brush stand.

You want a 2202! I don't think there are any available, but it's worth an ask.

The knot looks like a normal 20 or 22 mm chinese silver tip knot. The handle looks nice. You could also consider a custom with a similar knot...

Buy a Fido - that brush looks rubbish.

For a tenner I'd give it a go but not for twenty five plus postage.

Ooooooh
Now this I like.
I have emailed asking what its stuffed with. He does a selection of glass designs.
