Mark (Mantic59) is presenting a series of articles on synthetic brushes. This will be a multi-part series. Check it out on: http://sharpologist.com/
Lol Gary..you seem to be part of a shaving task force sent out to investigate the latest generation of synthetic brushes... I've now read some of those findings and it looks like there is yet another viable option to further tempt the already confused but happily addicted shaving connoisseur..
Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one who loves his Mühle synthetic silvertip! Between theirs and the H.I.S., there are definitely options out there.
I'm panicked! Amazon is out of stock of the H.I.S brushes and says it doesn't know when it will be restocked again!
That's great news! Now maybe we'll start seeing some of the other handle options that they were considering. This brush has been well recieved by the shaving community! I wouldn't sweat it, I bet they have them back in stock by the middle of July.
Here is the situation with H.I.S. They are moving their distribution operations to Amazon warehouses versus shipping them out from their facility, this will allow for faster processing and shipping. Once they are set up there they will be back up on Amazon. This was discussed some time ago by the company along with beginning distribution to the U.K. in the second half of this year. Excellent news for those who wish faster and more global availability.
