Now I can finally junk those damn Burma Shave brushes!
JUST KIDDING! Still love my Burma Shave brushes--the one I own and the three I have on order.
But the time has come in this old fool's life to move up and blow a little dough.
Just received my silvertip badger brush from Ian Tang of Frank Shave in the Mysterious East. (No, not Burma . . . but China.)
Model is the "Richmond" and the handle is butterscotch plastic.
To these eyes, it is just beautiful--breathtaking, actually--the way the badger hair fans out and blossoms on drying.
I had already shaved by the time the brush arrived, but I still had to take it for a "test drive" today--albeit a limited one. You might say I whipped up a bowl of lather for lunch.
Now I understand badger's hygroscopic properties, having seen the brush swallow up a whole bowl of lather in one gulp. Where the hell did it all go??? LOL
We'll find out tomorrow morning . . . unless I reach for my Burma Shave brush out of habit.
Cheers,
W.
