This is The Shave Nook's 2017 LE brush. It is made for them by Thater and is my first Thater brush. It has an amazing knot in softness with a firm backbone. A nice beehive/butterscotch handle. They are sold through Bullgoose.
Bullgoose finally started carrying Thater brushes again? Didn't he drop them some years back for failure to accept warranty returns? Beautiful brush, by the way.
Yes, a little pricey but, except for some re-knots, I am targeting LE/SE releases to make a brush purchase. I recently purchased a ForoAfeitado LE which is made by Semogue. These brushes have amazing knots and unique handles.
