I agreeI suppose for some people it's Horses for courses. But could also be Badgers, Boars or Synthetics.
Carl liked and continues to like it very much! Thank you, Paul. I used it this morning with a new American soap - Shipwright or Badgerwright or somesuch - Pirate Bay - and it gave me an excellent lather, as always.Happy end, though ...
The handle went via Erik to Carl, via me to fit a commissioned badger knot in for Carl ... and it looked really nice. I lathered with it in a bowl just to make sure it was sound, not on my face though ... urgh! Carl seemed to like it:
... and as it was with a new knot when I had fitted Carl's knot:
This is probably the same as one on my Favourites List - not bad for £1.50.I grabbed a no-name brush from a Turkish market. Maybe boar or horse hair? I'm not too sure what hair it was. What I am sure of, is that über prickly, floppy, stinky brushes that don't lather for love nor money are not my thing.
Greetings GraemeOh, I almost forgot. The Turkish No.6 Boar/Horse or whatever the heck it was. Folk raved about them here, there and everywhere so I ordered two. To describe them as utter pish would be an affront to urine! Regardless of their very low cost, I'd rather go back to canned gloop as they were a complete waste of materials, time and energy in manufacturing them. Split handles, glue bumps the size of the Scott Monument (one of them had glue going from the bump all the way to the tips on one side, the other was a 'doughnut') and wonky knots filled with the most vile smelling arse hair I've ever had the displeasure to sniff. Scrubbier than a rusty brillo pad - you'd be better off lathering with barbed wire! Murder polis!!!
Ahh, that's better. Always good to vent....
Could be a perception thing. Maybe if you haven't tried a good one you have nothing to compare them against. Still if you're happy maybe it's best not to fall down that rabbit hole.Not used a bad brush yet, and two of the three I use are listed here as worst for some
So why do all the immigrants want to come to Europe - apart from not getting blown up and shot and such, I mean. I think it's because they know what good is without ever having actually experienced it.Could be a perception thing. Maybe if you haven't tried a good one you have nothing to compare them against. Still if you're happy maybe it's best not to fall down that rabbit hole.
