Hey @Trigger welcome to the cool kid's club!! I have four of the Jayaruh brushes. Love them all. Great choice in the raffle!
Thanks, Neal! Jim does have a nice selection. I like synthethic brushes and this one is a beauty! Thank you, guys!
Well, I got my brand new JR #290 brush today! I had to use it as soon as I saw it. The brush looks great and its performance was fantastic. The synthetic bristles on this brush is very soft and it doesn't feel like a typical synthetic brush. The workmanship is awesome. Well done, Jim! This is today's shave setup with the JR #290.
Nice looking shave gear you got there Trigger. I really like that brush. Welcome to the club. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk
Here's my SOTD 02/21/20 JR-338 with a Maggards 70/30 Badger/Boar Knot. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk
I really like this cream. Gillette did it right on this one. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk
Thanks, Patrick! I am getting another brush and it's a special order. I do not want to get into specifics here and on the 30DC thread. Jim just sent for the materials and hopefully I will have the brush in a few weeks. I am excited and can't wait to show it off.
I love Jims work. #241 that I have is like no other. When I pick up a handmade brush it has a feeling that no mass produced handle can give you. That adds to the whole shaving experience to me .
That is so true because you feel the connection between the maker and you. He definitely does wonderful work. In all honesty, I wasn't thinking of buying his brushes until I won my #290 in the recent TSD raffle.
Imagine my joy when I get to use my #7. Makes me wish I'd have gotten a better knot. I'm a little sad every time it sheds a hair or two.
I see brushes on the net going for 300 bucks and they aren't near as nice as Jims. I felt like I stole mine .
Save yourself the grief and just reknot it . You will enjoy it way more then. That handle is beautiful!
My badger/boar knot shed like yours for about a month and then it stopped. Don't give up on that knot just yet. Clayton Sent from my SM-A705U using Tapatalk
I won't give up on it, just use it. Is a whipped dog silvertip. It functions very well, just sheds a few hairs. But the handle is among my favorites.
