Congratulations,thats a Very good price. I paid quite a bit more than that for mine 4 or 5 years ago. I think you'll find that its a wonderful,fast, lather producer with creams.And its one of the softest brushes I've ever used. You are talking about the silvertip hair,right?

[narativesoul]

yes i am, amazon has it for like 300 something

[kbuzbee]

Wow! Awesome deal. I've never seen one that low. Excellent brush! Congrats!

I know a place. Its where I finally found a very nice chrome stand with a large enough opening to accomodate the 31 mm knot on my BK12 brush. Go to www.EmsPlace.com. She's located in Oregon I believe and Em is a very helpful and nice vendor to deal with.

which stand in-particular did you buy

[Easttexasman]

It shows to be pure hair not silvertip.I was going to buy it if it was silver tip.

The Bk 4, 8, and 12 are labeled "Pure Badger" but the hair is Silver Tip.

I checked my old order and the one I bought at Ems Place was the size extra large nickel plated stand she has listed now for $18.00. They also have a brass plated one in that size. The size Large was not wide enough to hold my BK12. Its a very nice stand and has held up well for me. Still looks new. By the way,are you sure you are getting the BK12 and not the BK8? I can't understand why the Royal Shave place would sell the BK12 for$80 or $90 cheaper than the BK8. But thats what their website shows. I checked it out this AM.

I was thinking the same thing..is it possible these are factory seconds ? still would be a good deal,blemishes do not denote shedding or anything catastrophic

[narativesoul]

well it ships from florida so hope it get here soon, and i am going by what this link showed me. http://www.royalbrushcompany.com/cus...t.asp?p=156423

The price on the site has gone up to $154. when I go to the Royal Brush page for Kent shaving brushes.
It appears that someone at Royal Brush has mixed up the pricing of the BK8 and BK12. The BK8 is selling for $246. Hope you get the BK12 and not the BK8.

I bought my stand-- from " Shavemac"

[maxman]

They also sell the Altesse brushes which are made by Kent.
I don't know anyone who has used one, but the prices are nice.
I think the BK12 and BK8 prices are mixed up.
