Default bought a tweezerman brush :D

so yesterday i got off early. decided to get some errands done. one of which was to go get a new brush. currently i have 2 that i use, but one is a $7 boar/synthetic bristle from walgreens that is shedding like a pomeranian in texas heat. so i actually found a local dallas dealer for tweezerman brushes. for $15, had to go get one.

small,very well put together, cheap, and badger hair. lathered with it last night. i really like it. much stiffer than my dovo brush, much better than my cheapo from walgreens.

so now i have a 24mm turchetta knot on the way to do a custom long handle brush. i think/hope this will end my SBAD for a while.

for newbs that want a decent brush on the cheap, the tweezerman is not a bad choice.

Dude, you are just starting down the slippery slope of SBAD!

You start by turning one custom handle.....awesome! Then you think about a different design/wood/knot size....and you're at it again.


And again....


And again...
