Thanks, guys!

FWIW, I haven't turned many handles since early last year. We carried on the tradition of our Halloween offering in 2022, did a small Pi brush offering for Pi Day this year (whenever that was), and took on a group buy project for contributors on another shaving board. That was about it. Demand crashed in mid-April of last year (for some others as well). I took that as a sign. I needed a break, and Cody took advantage of the opportunity to pursue some other opportunities and interests. I have too. We're not down for the long count yet, but when I re-engage, it will be on a significantly reduced scale (we'd been making in the neighborhood of 800-1000 brushes per year from 2016 through 2021).

Anyhow, it's nice to know we haven't been forgotten.
Ken, once things change with the economy - my hope is you get back to cranking again. We have another generation that needs to learn how to shave with the best tools.!

If you mean me, NO and it's one of my biggest regrets as it was the best feeling knot I've had from Paladin.......

Your Vesuvius Chief was one of the BEST specimens I’ve ever seen

I’ve always enjoyed my Paladins, some of the legendary knot codes in my rotation SHRED today’s “$200 designer knots in $400+ brush offerings. Thank You and Cody for bringing us these fine pieces over the years! 

Have you given any thought to custom orders? I know customs can be a pain in the arse because people can be fickle. I personally need three 28mm Chiefs, lol. I had to specify need because when the DFS Peanut Gallery reads this Post, they’re going to crucify me on the ‘need” part!

I’m a very tough consumer, I only feature shave gear worthy to stand next to some of the images I post, it’s clear where Paladin stands in my den.  Cheers to You and Cody!
