#54 arrived in Denmark earlier this week.

Nice

#13 Is safe and sound in Calgary. It got here the day before Canada Post locked out workers. Also Rudy was good enough to give me the number I requested, so it's all great. Also the brush has a great hand feel and the knot is wonderful.

They look great everyone! Nice work, Rudy!

While I am very pleased with the brush, I have had an issue with it losing a hair or two with every shave. I hope that stops soon. And after a few uses I also notice that there a few extra long hairs poking out of the top. One of them is a good quarter inch longer with a couple others not so long. I can see that it was the result of the tips curling over when the knot was stacked. The long hair I've tugged on gently a few times, but it remains stuck fast.

That long hair is a "feature" for getting that tight area just below the nose.

Hey guys... out of curiosity, how do you feel this brush compares to the last butterscotch B&B LE (2009)?

No comparison....this blows the 09 away, IMHO

that's an interesting view... i need to go back and try the 09.. the 11 is very tight and "scrubby", not skritchy, to me. i enjoy it...

Oh Hell I don't know.......

Okay all of you B&B 2011 LE brush fanatics. I am about to unveil the holy grail, the brush we have all been looking for.

Ladies and Gents......May I present for your viewing pleasure Brush #1

This brush will be highly sought after and just may turn up again some day at the appropriate time or place. So before you all ask. No I am not going to use it.

Somehow, I knew it was you, Scott.

Wow, so did you get another to use? I can't wait to shave tomorrow, it is #32's turn in the rotation.

Heres #67 with a money shot, and a post bloom shot.......Held enough for 3+ passes easily, just hogged it a bit.....no biggie.

What a fantastic brush!

Thank you Rudy for your excellent craftsmanship!

And thank you Brian and Scott for doing whatever it was that you did.

Here are pictures of my brush #55. Pre and post first lathering brush to show the bloom. I have used it four times so far and it has lost a total of 3 hairs. Fantastic brush in both face feel and performance.

11/75 got through a shave today without shedding any hair. Hopefully that'll be the last of the hair loss.

I did a test today to see how much water the knot can hold. I soaked it in hot water for two minutes. Then I gentlybpulled it out and let stop dripping. Next I held it tips down over a cup and did a couple of gentle downward flicks, followed by gently squeezing the knot. The result was two and one quarter ounces of water that came out of the knot!

Basically all we did Harry was tie Rudy to a chair and shocked him relentlessly until he agreed to make this many brushes.

I thought Brian was bribing him with beer?

mine has not lost a single hair in 4 shaves.

No. 25 got her first workout this morning! No prep (other than a soak in warm water of course), just straight from Rudy's hands to my face! Face lathered today (that's why there's not a heap of lather pictured on my brush - it's on my face or down the drain as I nearly forgot to take a pic!). Brush felt soft, dense and sufficient backbone. Held ample water (a little too much at first) and plenty of lather. The handle feels sturdy and comfortable. Being my first butterscotch it's like a ray of sunshine in my otherwise dreary Autumn morning (I'm in Australia if you are confused by my reference to the season)! Thanks again Rudy (and to all that contributed to it's production).

No shedding issues for me.
