All I see is a green knife looking object.

Marty -- the pic is in a window within the message -- it should have scroll bars on the bottom and side of the image to let you see the contents.

Regarding the lime green colouring -- interesting.

All I can see is the barrel of a gun. No knife, no brush.

Resizing your photos prior to posting would be helpful Bat.

That would be a first for me because the act of shaving has never inclined me to also reach for a firearm.

Some guys have multiple hobbies and interests, two of them might be firearms and shaving.

Either way its a nice brush. First week into it and so far good. Glad I got a rudy as part of my setup. Maybe one day ill get one of those super expensive brushes but till then this is my baby lol. Fyi its 24mm grade a silver tip which ive been using scs pumpkin soap and is great. And as far as the gun in pic yes another hobby is guns im an ex army mp so gotta have some style and the only thing with green which is not my favorite color but when I saw it I knew it would stand out so yeah. Thanks for the feedback though hope you all get to try one of these brushes. He is great with getting what you want.

We are fortunate in having such a range of high quality shave brushes in all price points to choose from. I like my high end super expensive brushes but truth be told they don't work any better than most standard 'best' varieties.
