Superb knots coming from Lee, I couldn't be happier with the performance. Updated den shot after downsizing a bit ,along with a new brush from Ken.

I think it has been posted but I don't recall where, but does anyone know the story behind the name "Morris & Forndran"?

What I have read the company was originally called Hankin & Bastadin and was bought by a Mr. Forndran in around 1930. They manufactured ivory and wood brushes, cigar & cigarette cases etc. They were located at 10 & 12 Heddon St. Regent St. London. Not quite sure who Morris was.

+1 over a year ago. I tried to contact the son who posted the comment. No luck.

Just received this ebony 1/3 in finest today. What a beautiful brush. Knot measures 26x49 in a nice fan shape. The tips are ridiculously soft. I've owned a couple Finest brushes and I wasn't able to detect a huge difference before between blonde, heritage and finest before this brush

That is quite interesting as I have always found the three hair types fairly distinguishable. However, there are always variances in batches. I hope you enjoy the new brush!
