  5. Very nice, Joseph. FYI, The baume.be is available at Fendrihan as well, as a cream and as a soap. If I recall correctly, most of the positive reviews I've heard are about the Cream.

  7. Only because GM separates out their stats for some reason - Silverado + Sierra is still higher sales than Rams

  12. A wise choice in my view. Both you and Mark @Boojum1 have featured an O Pro 98 recently. Mine in the stock handle or the knot of another in a B-400 handle are always in rotation. I know Clint @clint64 had issues with a recent Omega brush, but I've enjoyed them and will continue to recommend until I find something I like more.
  13. Excellent picture, Doug!

  18. Once broken in, the Omega Pro '98 is a favorite of mine as well, Rick. The knot set in the plastic handle ain't much to look at, but it's a good value. I am curious, however, about the Zenith boar brushes. I haven't written @clint64 off as a complete brush snob yet. :)
  19. Wonderful picture and lineup Doug.
