The tracking number is, as best I can tell, from Royal Mail. It shows "Delivered to United States."

Hmmm. Now what?

My 1st took 6 weeks as the U.S. Post Office had "misplaced". It eventually made it, and Lee was even so kind as to offer to make me another.
Fortunately the tracking showed it as delivered to the PO and not to me.

My 2nd was more normal at around 11 days.

Did I ever tell you that I hate the Post Office.

Visit your local Post Office and see if they can backtrack from your end.

So today, I leave to run an errand. While I'm gone, the postman leaves me a notice about a signature required parcel.

Wahoo and Dang in the same breath. I expect its my wayward brush. And I can't get it from the Post Office until Monday morning.

Stay tuned for more.
Regards,

MaxP

See Max, you should have stated your complaint early on in this forum in the most unequivocal terms - that's all it took! :lol:

Hahaha, and I bet you are all itchy all over thinking about it being so close, yet so far.
I know the feeling well my friend but try not to think about it.

Congratulations. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. It's cool to know that Lee made it just for you.

Finally! I picked it up at the post office this morning.

I ordered it on the 2nd, but it wasn't postmarked until the 10th (Royal Mail). So actually only 11 days.

It's wonderful. I've given it an initial clean and lathering. Tomorrow I'll try it out. Wahoooo.

It is, indeed a Blonde Badger. Knot is 21.5mm with 48mm loft.

21-22 knots are my sweet spot.

Very nice Max; the Emillion handle is one of my favorites and a friend of slippery hands

This is the first brush I've seen that looks-wise compares with the Emperor 3 I have a jones for. I remember liking my Emillion's handle, too. A contender to be sure. Neat brush -- good lathering with it.

I'm a bit late to the party on this one as I have purposely avoided this forum so that I don 't add any more brushes to the collection. But here I am. Could someone send me a pm with contact information and any information they can share on style, size and pricing? Thanks

I can send you Lee Sabini email but I have no idea about the new prices of the M&F brushes.

I haven't even had a chance to use it yet! Blame it on SBAD.
