My vote is yes
Since this thread started, I've acquired 2 by way of trade or selling off gear to get them. My newest is a 16 HMW 2 band in horn. It's the best product in my den. I like it even better than my RW razor. Seriously

Or the fact that he put that brush on the edge like that! 
I'd be very sad to see it slowly tip and then fall off into mud or something worse

That is a very nice looking Plisson, Mr. Paul. I hope mine looks just as good, I'm sure it will.

Thank you. It's much more figured on the back and base, and has a lot more flare when seen in full. The performance is top notch too. That's the kicker, and I couldn't be much happier.

Plisson is the Puegeot of shave brushes literally, seems people don't mind over-paying for a Plisson....
However unlike Puegeot you can import them to the US

Here is my new Plisson Ebony EWB in a size # 10 and I have to say that I love it. Try it today with my AOS cream and it was unbelievable. I here all the talk about the higher price but hey it is a very nice brush. I love my two Rooney's as well but if the Plisson cost a little more so what. You are talking to crazy man that has a few thousand dollars worth of vintage Gillette razor.  so $20.00 or $30.00 more for this brush is not a big deal. I didn't even notice the different in price, maybe because I got the smaller size 10. So for me it is worth the money, unless all the hair falls out tomorrow then I will edit my post.
Jim over at Vintage Blades http://www.vintagebladesllc.com/vsho...cat=212&page=1 was very helpful in helping me pick out the right brush for me.
