Brad Sears Handle and Knot Appreciation

Brad has been making brushes for quite a while now and I feel is deserving of a thread commending the work that he does. Over the last 2 years, Brads designs and unique elegant combinations of resins has elevated his brushes to a unique level to where you know without looking at the logo that is a Brad Sears brush.

The brush to the right is a BS Knight 28 in Coral with a single Amber ring with the select 1804A2F knot, this brush has moderate backbone with the softest of tips. To the left is a 151 28 with the same 1804A2F knot, this brush has medium backbone with the softest of tips. I could not be any more pleased.

Now, this is a hard decision, which one do I want to buy?

Those Brushes are both lookers, and I love the Fan Knots as well! I have Six M&F Brushes that Brad has made under the M&F/Brad Sears Collaboration, but I don’t own any of Brad’s own Brushes so I won’t post pics. It looks like that will have to change in the near future! I saw a few pics of Brad’s “200” Series Barbershop Style Brushes and they look Outstanding. I would love a 26mm or 28mm Fan Knot with Ebony over Antique Ivory Handle. Excited to see some more pictures of his work in this thread!

Beautiful brushes. And I agree Brads brushes are excellent in every way.

Those are great looking brushes!

Unfortunately, I have to say, "You need BOTH!"

I don't own any of Brad's brushes yet, but hope to remedy that problem in the future. There's outstanding craftsmanship available from BSSW!

I came veeeerrrrrryyyyy close to getting one like the blue and orange on the left. So, that would be my choice.

Just arrived Brad Sears Arley 26mm.

I've read that their select knot is as good as any high end badger knot, but haven't tried it myself.

I just snatched this M&F from brad sears site (he released this one today on the "ready made section"

Morris & Forndran Raspberry Fields Ebonite 2XL -28mm

Brad does incredible work, nice handles all!

My newest acquisition from Brad Sears. Ivory and Seafoam resin beehive.
