I guess I now own three Jayaruh brushes with the acquisition of this Cubs brush from Jim Joseph. I guess it started life as JR 244 before Jim Joseph did his thing with it. I'll add this to JR 117 and JR 133.
Adopted my 1st JR brush, #256 made its way to its new home yesterday. What a work of art! The wood grain and the carved "400 Type" handle is perfection! The knot is a "Faux Horse" - I currently have the"plissofts", the "duro knots", and the "tuxedo knots".. the Faux Horse is new to me and WOW - this knot right off the bat is my favorite of all the synths - yes after one shave!! I am a boar guy - and this knot feels like animal hair - its just like my cremo vielong horse - but with denser knot - ZERO Stank and ZERO tangles - I also got my 2nd JR LC handle and this time is a longer 3" handle - fits my hand like a glove. Thanks JR!!!! Great work and also the photos of your building process is fun and enjoyable! My best artisan brush buying experience by far. Peace - jamie
---- JR #256 !! Faux horse knot with a 400 handle - yes ! it rules!! I think i will use this for a while - my other brushes are going to take a vacation..
Everyone, I'm starting a Jayaruh Owners Club Pay-It-Forward (PIF). One of my Jayaruh brushes is #117. As you'll see from the photos below, it's a beautiful brush. It's a blue laminate with a synthetic knot. It's a smaller-sized brush, making it ideal as a travel brush. In fact, that's what I use it for. It travels really well in a mid-sized prescription drug bottle. I have to find a new home for #117 because I have some severe arthritis in my thumbs, and the size and shape of #117 makes it hard for me to use. But if your hands are ok, you'll have no issues at all. The first PM that I receive gets it. I want to keep this to the U.S. only to control the cost of shipping. Let me know.
This is awesome I’m going to be a Proud OWNER of a Jayaruh #117. Life is Now Complete. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
