So I went on a bit of a brush buying spree. I also reminded myself why I sold my first 2-Band brush, it just doesn't agree with me. More than willing to ship international, just add $2. The Emperor 1. This is a great brush and, like all 2-Banders, loves to face lather soap. I've used it with Tabac and MWF with great results. I bought the brush on March 15, 2011 and used it about half a dozen times. Not a single hair shed, I just prefer Best Badger. Cost me $110, yours for $99 paypaled and shipped.
