This brush arrived late yesterday from L&L Grooming's Scott Stewart.
I took it for a test drive today.

It is more than perfect. It is incredible. More than I could have imagined.

The top knob fits perfectly into my palm.
My first two fingers and thumb fit with the natural curvature of my arthritic hand into the waist.
I need not exert even the least pressure to hold it, hence NO PAIN at all.
Sheer magic!

All this was created from my poor description, a photo of a prototype that I sketched over and a photo of my double bass when I could not find the right words.

The brush's synthetic fibers are as gentle as a summer breeze.
The handle is with its red, gold, yellow and transparent admixture glistens from within. Simply stunning.

I shaved this morning with a GEM Damaskeene single edge razor and MEM Shaving Cream. The brush quickly built a rich lather.
Tomorrow I will use a croap.
The next day a soap.

I can't wait for the morning.

Thank you very much, Scott.

I agree! Mickey Oberman you have the gift of painting a picture with words and I always enjoy your point of view. In this case I also enjoy your brush [thanks for the image].

Scott really is a unique artisan and is creating some singularly creative handles. Definitely establishing his identity in the market. I packed all my brushes in prep for a pending move recently and left two out for use: one was an @"landlgrooming" which says a lot.

Enjoy your brush in good health and for all that's sacred: post some more pics!
