I just discovered this and just had it confirmed by the owner, J.J. Atkinson. http://www.atkinsonsofvancouver.com/personalluxury/shavingsupplies/plisson/plisson.html offers a 20 discount on Plisson brushes. As he put it, it's "officially" offered only to B&B and SMF members, but he says that, in practice, he extends the offer to anyone who knows enough to ask for it! Not that it matters - most of us are members of all the forums anyway! Anyway, for those of you who were not aware...now you are! And just in time for Christmas!
I don't think you can go wrong.. they have some beautiful brushes.. amazing horn handles and some nice woods too. I need to figure out what the sizes mean though..
i would want somthing like my Chubby. Not to big....think it is a 22-24. Would want that size in a Plisson

Wow.. interesting to see those definitions of the different types of hair rather then the simple scale I am used to.
Michael, Thank you for providing all of this information. Interesting, informative and money saving too. I dare say that you have done more research than most of us would do before we made the purchase.
You're welcome, Steve. But it's not so much "research" as I just can't make a decision! Besides, I have one brush for every day of the week - how many more should I buy?!
Yepper, that's a problem. With each of us having different brush tastes, requirements and a bad case of BAD, it's hard to decide. The never ending search for that one brush that does everything....or....maybe it's just the "variety" factor.
Methinks you've found the answer!! And as for all the discount-hunting...it's always been an affliction of mine! For instance; Kent. I have three Kent brushes, BK4, BLK4 and BK8. The 12 is ridiculous, so the only one I still want is a BLK2. A $50 brush. 20% lets me buy it for $40. Big deal. But it's the hunt - ya know?
