I got this brush in the mail today. It is my christmas gift from my mother. It has a 26mm SHD HMW. I absolutely love the brush.
Heritage Collection makes marvelous replicas of vintage brushes. I recently bought a C-Mon 77-4 that matches with my 2 C-Mon and my Friodur straights.
I have a C-MON brush that was and wasn't from heritage collection. The person who makes the brushes had a flawed one and I got it for 5 bucks with a silvertip knot.
Am I correct in stating that you have 2 different C-Mon brushes? One is from Heritage Collection and one isn't. If so, which one had the flaw and what was wrong with the brush?
Looks like an air bubble or a pigment issue in the red handled brush, near the ivory top section. See second picture. Edit: looks like an air bubble got trapped between the two sections when he was putting the handle together.
I do love the look of these brushes. Have you had a chance to use it yet? I haven’t seen much in the way of reviews on the knots, and I noticed they recently moved to these SHD knot options so I’m interested to hear what you think of it.
I freaking love it. First use once soaked it is so soft. I would say the tips are very similar to tuxedo knot but with more backbone.
From heritage collection they are very good price. They are wonderful brushes. I am so happy to have both of mine but more so the new one as black and lime green are my favorite color combos.
Lovely handles. What shall we call these- "authentic fakes?" Although I suppose to be truly faithful to the originals they'd probably all have boar bristle knots, wouldn't they?
Not seeing any of the originals looking this good. I would call these clones an excellent example of what can be done when you pay respect to the past and bring it to the present.
