So here is a funny thing...
I have been looking for my next brush and what will in all likelihood be my final brush acquisition in 2012 .
As I have been scouring the net, looking at Simpsons, Rooney's, M&F's... across soooo many vendors, my wife was watching me at times seeing my enjoyable frustration at what this choice will be (although she thought that this was a bit silly though).
To find sources of vendors that sell brushes, I also jumped into the Vendor Items for Sale forum here on B&B and went to the Gifts and Care website.
I was looking at the Vie Long brushes as they have really attractive handles (to me - I like their combination red acrylic look) which I commented on to my wife who happened to be in the room at the time.
Well here is the funny thing...
She ordered me a Vie Long Silvertip for me! She said that since I liked the handle (which she admitted she thought it was nice too) and I was a bit frustrated on what to do.
Here is the link: http://www.giftsandcare.com/en/cata...dger/silvertip-badger-shaving-brush-53mm.html
And here is a picture from the site:
I think I am happy (it looks like a beautiful brush from a quality company) - I just don't know much about this brush. Vei Long is known in these parts for their horse hair, but I haven't seen anything on their badgers - especially their Silvertip.
Anyone have any feedback/thoughts (I will only let her see the good stuff )?
