A big THANK YOU to Chris and Dr. P for helping me get past the Spam filter.
I'm an old fogie, retired, and spend a lot of my time reading about shaving related stuff, and according to SWMBO, buying far too much.
I also am trying to teach myself how to carve/shape a brush handle so I can build my own.
I recently caught the jumbo brush fever and am in the process of trying 28mm~30mms. I tried a Kent BK 12, and decided that it was not for me.
I'm a face latherer but will bowl lather if forced to it.
Brushes are works of art and they own my soul, totally. I am commissioning one that will combine some butterscotch backgammon chips and white stag horn. It will be with a TGN 30mm knot. I will post a picture when I figure out how.
My newest addition and my best brush so far is a Rooney Heritage 2XL, an absolute magic brush.
I have a Simpson Duke 3, an M&F with another in the mail, a few Rudy Vey customs, and also a couple that I have restored. One of my restores is a butterscotch with a Shavemac D01 knot.
I have been using DEs exclusively until last week when I tried an injector.
I immediately ran out and bought an "E" type. What can I say, I like butterscotch.
Straights are not for me due to some meds I take that thins my blood, and I cannot for the life of me, master SEs. I tried thrice and still no luck.
I have been active at another forum but lately decided that I need to expand my horizons.
Anyway, enough for now. It's time to go poke around.
Edited to include an image of smaller version of the brush I am trying to get made.
