Check out my new mirror.

Mail Call:- Today I received two brushes from classicshop2012 via eBay online click here, on the left is the Maseto Extra Density 2 Band Finest Badger 24/54mm knot and on the right is the Maseto 2 Band Finest Badger Horn 30/54mm knot see 2 image below. I give these brushes below a real good clean before I used the brush.

For some reason the 24/54mm bloom of the Extra Density 2 Band Finest Badger looks better than the 30mm on the right, I can see the 2 Band Finest Badger Horn 30/54mm knot doesn't have enough bloom and splay to allow enough flow through when face lathering. Anybody owned a Maseto Extra Density 2 Band Finest and a Maseto 2 Band Finest 30mm knot, which brush do you like best that suit you because I'm interested in you're feedback... Cheers.



On the left is the Maseto Extra Density 2 Band Finest Badger 24/54mm knot vs on the right is the Maseto 2 Band Finest Badger 30/54mm knot blooming side by side.

Today’s arrival in the den was a new tub of Awesometown I acquired...

My first Declaration Brush after its initial shampooing. Absolutely beautiful and the quality of the knot and the handle is TOP NOTCH.

Closing out 2017 with the adoption of two new Jayaruh brushes.

Darwin Universal Safety Razor,  Hollow Ground. From what I have read, I understand that all of the metal in its entirety is a very hard Cobalt Stainless Steel.
This came with 3 blades. They usually come with two.
