Just so I can avoid letting myself worry, what has been the average shipping time on a brush from Lee to a USA address? I am assuming he's based in UK. Is that right? This coming Monday will mark two weeks.

Yes, a bit over 2 weeks was my experience too. Though I've seen others report 4-5 weeks. USPS = YMMV. It will arrive don't worry, it's signature required so you will have to be around to sign for it or go to the PO to pick it up yourself.
Have a great shave!

Here's my trophy brush. The mailing label indicates it was shipped on July 13th. 7 day trip. Not bad. This one's in perfect proportion, according to my eyes. The caliper tells me it's spot on at 30 x 60. This is the before shot. I want to say thank you to Lee Sabini. What a work of art.

Here's the M&F 30x60 post bloom, standing between the BK8 and the Big Rooney for perspective.

There's a M&F soap available now too. Here's the relevant post over at B&B:

Today I was able to use the M&F 30/60 with the reformulated English Fern (lather courtesy of Palmolive). I used distilled water, of course, because I have to if I want a nice lather. The EF is in stick form and required face-lathering. The M&F perormed great. I don't feel any scritchiness at all. It would be hard for me to imagine other higher priced brushes by a factor of 2 or even 3 perfoming any better.
