    I really enjoyed photographing the Beehive test lathering (see page 3 of this thread).

    My son helped (obviously the best part) and we utilised props from my daughter's doll house. This provided the inspiration for further photographs employing more of the children's toys to add interest. I tried to justify what I termed as creativity to SWMBO and failed miserably. I hope my efforts are more appreciated here...

    I thought by posting a few more pics of my M&F collection, I might get a little more feedback on what brush people would like to see next... (Any requests for particular soaps or creams would also be well received.)

    Making lather with an M&F is child's play...

    The "Barrel" to me is the definitive and most unique handle from the M&F range.
    All brush makers borrow from various designs.
    The Barrel's closest design cousin is possibly Simpson's Milk Churn (but the two are sufficiently different that in my opinion this is truly a Sabini original).

    The "Barrel" as it should be... in wood... albeit imitation!

    The "Barrel's" handle is the "little bear" or "goldilocks" of my M&F range as it feels... "just right!"

    Hello James,
    the color in the darkest areas is almost black, not brown. This was my second M&F and I like it even more than his older brother.
