    I recently got this brush from Larry Andreassen, Whipped Dog Straights. It is a 22mm silvertip in a resin handle. It is my first good brush and I really like it...

    I am seriously, seriously trying to keep myself from ordering a doppleganger of this brush, in either best or finest. Not quite sure what handle material I would like though. If, or should I say "when", I do end up getting this brush, I will most likely end up getting it from Mr. Vey.
    YES! I love this brush, I'd like to get one in Amboyna Burl, Afzelia Burl, or Coolibah Eucalyptus burl with a Finest knot. Maybe when I get set up in a career I will, but for a broke college student, this would be a bad financial judgement at the moment.

    I really love my Plisson size 12 entry level (i.e., pure badger) so I want a HMW at some point.

    Whether the budget committee will approve the expenditure is another question of course!

    Finally broke down and ordered a Da Vinci Uomo globe.....

    I just couldn't take it any longer.

    Been pondering this buy for WAY too long

    Besides.... I haven't bought a new brush in ages... I mean it has been like almost 3 weeks since I bought a brush. That's like ages isn't it?

    Were you able to find specs on this? Loft? Knot? Etc.. It's a really nice looking brush, ever since you first posted it I've seen a number of mentions and it's tugging on my AD!

    Enjoy it!

I discussed with another Reseller (because plisson never answered any of my questions) and he told me that the size 10 currently available is really not the one to buy if you want a EW today, better select the size 12, better density, whiter hair and two band... So maybe I'll take one from the reseller which was really nice, but never again directly from plisson. To be completely fair with plisson, they did refund the full amount with shipping, without a question. My weakness is that I love the ew antique!... In the meantime, i got a davinci 293 a few days ago, and i am waiting for a shavemac d01 2band, ordered yesterday, already shipped!
