    I like your new brushes, Jason. That Poculi wood is beautiful!

    Great month, Doug. I may fall to the Karve temptation someday after all...

    Thank you, John. The wood from the one in back came from the same board as your bowl. The one in front is actually a little redder after urethane. Less dark grain than the other, though.

    Great looking razor Joseph. The SOC mixed brush is a fantastic brush.

    The beehive brushes look fantastic Jason.

    Great lineup and photo Amigo.

    Thank you, Clint. Going to the lathe room for a few hours kept me off of the Simpson's site.:eatdrink047:
    I might have ordered a few more knots, however. That second beehive needs a top, etc...

    Jason, if I were to pick one between the two, it would be the CH2 Synthetic. In fact if I had to pick only one brush out of my collection it would be a CH2 Synthetic.

    Thanks very much John. The Karve is a great razor. Very good value for the money. You won't be disappointed.

    You wouldn't pick the Envy White knot? I re-read your post. My question is out of order. :)

    I can't hurt the synthetic so, it will last forever. I still prefer to use my badgers and the Envy White is a great knot. I am glad I don't have to pick. ;)

    It is an acquired taste for a brush. It has tons of backbone and can be hard to splay. The trick is to load it like you hate it which makes it easier to splay. I would just be on the lookout for a nice used one. I saw a butterscotch one go the other week for $60 used. Or maybe place a want to buy listing.

    If you go to the Simpsons site make sure you haven't had any alcoholic beverages
    prior to your visit.
