A couple of months ago I bought a really BIG brush from Howard. He warned me that it was a lot of brush. The fact is he was right. This brush just doesn't feel right to me. I am used to a smaller brush and I thought that Bigger is Better ( NO COMMENTS PLEASE ) but for me it just doesn't work well. So it is up for sale or trade. I am cutting and pasteing the information that Howard gave me when I bought the brush and I will also try to put in a link so you can see a picture of it. I want $75 for the brush or I will even trade it for a smaller brush of equal value.
Howards words about the brush follow:
I believe the knot is 30mm and it is Chinese silvertip. The handle is oil finished redwood. I oil it from time to time and I suppose you could always finish it with nitrocellulose or ? if you wanted to. As you can imagine; it holds a ton of water and the hair to me feels exactly like the Vulfix, albeit with a denser (is that a word?) knot.
It was handmade by a gentleman at the Yahoo Straightrazor place forum and sold on e-Bay. He has only made two others, to the best of my knowledge.
Here is a link to see it:
