I got my custom made shaving brush from Bob Farvour a few days ago and couldn't be happier with it. He put a 22m TGN silvertip grade A knot set at 48mm into a tulip-inspired handle. I am a face-latherer and after my last two shaves, I'm pretty sure there are angels hiding between the hairs. It makes my old pure badger brush (only other brush I've used) feel like a bunch of javelins loosely tied together. Here is a pair of pre and post bloom pics.

I also ordered a brush from Bob. He is a great guy to deal with. Full of knowledge and very helpful. I will buy from him again.
I just got my brush in the mail today and will use it tonight. My review will soon follow.Switch to DE shaving "it saves you money".....

The brush is gorgeous, and the handle is far different than anything I have ever seen before. Bob did a fantastic job making that brush. Congrats and enjoy!!
