Here are my two latest Somerset arrivals, a PL12 in Super and a PL14 Manchurian. Big brushes. And beautiful, I think.

Yowza. If I had those, I'd shave morning and night!
If I didn't know better, I'd think you were developing a case of SBAD.

Seems like I've seen that PL14 from anothers collection before... Very beautiful brushes! My PL10 is a monster as it is for me. I couldn't imagine what the other two would be like in person!

I cannot imagine what that beastly 14er in Extra Super would feel like in the hand or on the face. What a monster! :D

Ye gads, does it take an entire puck/tub to lather up those beasts?.
Happy shaving with them.

Beautiful, John...very nice!!

After shaving, you can spray some Simple Green on that PL14 and clean the wheels on your car!

No, I don't get brushes for display only. I use all of mine. I've regularly used the Chubby 3 Manchurian, so I see no reason to avoid using the big Polo Manchurian (or the Plisson 22 that I also got recently). I have two scuttles now to alternate, and the Becker one is quite large, able to accomodate my largest brushes with creams.

John, I have looked at this a couple of times and finally got around to posting...That makes my Polo 8 two-band look like a mexican hairless. Nice Post :shock: The Manchurian 14 is amazing.
