Managed to take a photo this morning of my newly acquired Midas Custom shaving brush. Super soft tips, partly due to it being a second-hand brush. No notable badger funk to speak of either! I'll give it a thorough wash with some Borax I think prior to use and hopefully that'll give it an opportunity to re-bloom after it's trip to me in an envelope!
Not a lot of loft which is preferable as it gives this brush a nice bit of backbone. Lovely white and butterscotch handle - it progresses through clear and opaque resin throughout with a white collar. Lovely mixture.
Very much looking forward to using this!
Edit: Gave it a test-lather with P&B Denali (thanks @nolisco!) (which I will certainly use for the first time on my next shave). A few hairs were shed, but only 3/4, so hopefully it isn't a permanent shedder... if it is, however, I'll certainly re-knot it. The handle is lovely and weighty and comfortable.
