What's Your New Brush?

Those look great Chris! I really like the one with the red, but both of them look really good.
 
I've been wanting a silvertip to try. I found this one on a BST, right in line with the size knot I'm finding I like, 22mm. This is a Rooney 22mm silvertip with a faux horn handle.

 
Got a couple new brushes recently.

The TSC Member Brush in African Blackwood and Blood Knot.




And my 2018 30mm Jack to go along with my 2017 26mm Jack. This 30mm is a beast, and is going to be a real soap killer!

This Jack is The Pumpkin King! ?
 
Wow Dave. Remember when you couldn’t bring yourself to buy one Paladin? Now you’re buying them 2 at a time!

Also, black and orange..... really getting into Halloween aren't we? You going to figure out a way to use them both for one shave?

Thanks. I'll keep you in mine if I see any beehives come up on future releases.

Not a Halloween celebrator but wanted to comment on my sudden enamoring with Paladins. It was and still is a big ticket purchase for me. The 1st one was the hardest, but once getting that 1 and experiencing the quality of not just the handle but also the knots, it got easier to justify a purchase of another. I would watch to see if when he occasionally does a drop without notifying anyone, I could maybe see something that just clicked for me. I prefer this drop method he is experimenting with which rewards frequently checking his site (hey, I got a lot of views there too ? ) I also am happy he started a backroom section for really unnoticeable imperfection or seconds they list at a discount. These caught my eye especially because of the loft and free loft being the same meaning no glue bump effect. See Josh, I was paying attention and yes it does make a difference which I 1st noticed when I got the Lime Lotus which was a mere 1 mm difference closer then my Harlequin Chief. That and the knot code of the Lotus one also was a better feel and these are a similar lot. Sorry for the long post but wanted to say yes a dip of a toe in the pool ended with an enjoyable dive into the Paladin rabbit hole. They arrive today !!!!!!!!

I guess I need to get familiar with his site more. I didn't know there was a seconds section.
 
I almost jumped on a Jade Sherlock he had in there a while back but i got two Sorrentino brushes for less $. I do really enjoy my PK-47 that i got from him though.

Good to know. I was going to get the Moe in Ebony with similar loft til I saw the PK-47 for$25 less. That Moe is still there taunting me........
