  2. Thanks, Neal! Jim does have a nice selection. I like synthethic brushes and this one is a beauty!
    Thank you, guys!

  3. 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. 20200219_152244.jpg 20200219_152244.jpg

  7. That's a beautiful brush!
  8. Your Gillette Shave Cream looks just like the Duke Cannon Co. I'll be using tomorrow....from a tube.

  9. I guess that makes me 1/4 of a cool kid. I just have one, the #59. It does me well.

  13. 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.

  14. 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 .
  15. 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.
  16. 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. 20171015_221935_resized(1).jpg
  17. 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 .

  18. Save yourself the grief and just reknot it . You will enjoy it way more then. That handle is beautiful!
  19. My badger/boar knot shed like yours for about a month and then it stopped. Don't give up on that knot just yet.

  20. 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.
