THE best brush I've ever owned. Seriously guys if you're unsure, don't be. These are superior quality.

These are from a different maker than yours bigboar. Just similar design. They do look lovely though.


Dr Dulcamara your mailbox is full!
 
So this is what happens when we get a highly motivated Good Doctor. Taking an already famous popular design and tweaking it in good ways as a homage. Jeeez, I wonder how those long handle designs in general became more desirable...heh.

Great to see the results of a long road. Sounds like more than a few bumps along the way. Once again you have come up with something that many unsuspecting people don't even know they want yet! They will though.

I'm very glad for you my friend,

Martino

Also interested, depending on final price of course. Is there a choice of loft or will all be set at/around 50mm?
Of course. Now I have prices calculated. Please send an email to the address on my signature.
Current loft is set around 49-50 mm. But could be higher. If you want lower, tell me.

Friend, I have no plans to set up boar knots, but will be the possibility to buy just the handle.

Juan, wow, lovely brush, a really nice piece of work. I'll eagerly await the titanium version.
Thank you friend.

Hi Juan

I keep looking in the Vendor section but I don't see any prices yet. You said this weekend. I'm keen to order - and add a couple of purple rings, please.

Yes, I have your email. I will reply all the emails soon. Will try this afternoon.
Next batch Alu brushes planned to late January. No dates, no prices, no info on Ti handles yet.
Thanks a lot for your support, friends.
 
Friends. I have all the emails. Lack of time this weekend. I need to translate the text to english and detailed prices to reply to you. Give me some days. I have some holidays next week, and will have the time to do. Next batch is planned for late January, but shipping time of knots from China could delay it. We will see.
 
Friends, all the emails are replied, with prices. Thanks a lot.


And a new thread at Vendor Offers subforum is posted http://www.theshavingroom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=30251
I am not able to open it at Vendor Section
 
A travel case, I have just one sample. I am awaiting shipment of cases, but already I have all the stickers. Now studying placement, diameter, and number of aireation holes.
It is a functional case, which will help when you go travelling. And it matches with the brush design, industrial look. Typography stencil "cargo" type. Austere. Easy reading. Like wooden tools' boxes when shipping by train or boat. It is my personal taste, but I do not know if all the people will like this brand image.
And there will not be carton box, beyond the outer shipping carton. Nor wax stamp, nor colored tissue paper. No offense to others that use, because are nice for wooden brushes, but I think this industrial look is more appropriate for this brush.
Friends, this is a personal project, short number of units, for enjoying more than for business, for you. But I am taking care all the details.

Friends, now I have black, orange, blue, and awaiting red and green o-rings to include with the brush in an optional kit. In initial sales, will be free of charge.

Also I have received the cases' shipment from my supplier, and next days I will drill the aireation holes, and place the stickers.

Also I have the outer packaging boxes for mailing, and the bubbles film, and the foam film.

Things are progressing.
 
Hello friends. Updated information.

I have to announce that there is a change in the knot. The knot will not be FAN, nor 49 mm loft.
The knot will be a VIE-LONG two bands, white badger, BULB, very nice, at 51 mm loft more or less, some tenths up or down.
There will also be possible choosing VIE-LONG Silvertip, with a price differential.

I will send information by email to all friends with firm order.

This endeavour is being very difficult. Many troubles. I am alone in this, but I am perseverant. I just need a little more time and a little more patience on your part. I do not do this for money, but for stubbornness, but earning some money is necessary for continuity.

Due to various issues with several Chinese suppliers of knots (basically good samples and bad knots when the big order came) there are many knots (all of them) traveling back to China. I lost some money and hope to recover the rest, but that's not important.

What is important is my personal commitment to deliver a good brush with a well built handle and a quality knot. Now the whole brush will be made in Spain. Sorry communicate this change, but I am compelled by circumstances. Who does not want to go ahead will be fully refunded his money and an apology.

Faced with adversity, I decided to reduce my profit, but assembling the best knot that I can get, much better than the best Chinese samples that I received.

It will be a VIE-LONG white badger knot, ie, a two bands. It is a knot BULB shape, but a special BULB for BSB, at 51 mm loft approx, very nice, and with a hair grade that has some character. Origin and quality unquestionables. It is possible that someone does not like VIE-LONG knots, but now you know exactly what you are going to buy, not a knot of unknown or undefined Chinese origin. A knot of the best in the world. I'll keep the price, reducing my profit, but increasing the value of the brush for you.

For those who prefer a Silvertip, VIE-LONG too, will be about 2 mm less of loft, at 49 mm approx. I will communicate to interested people the price differential with Silvertip knot. I never announced price with Silvertip, so that's not a price change. It is simply the price differential that exists also in VIE-LONG brushes.

I'm really upset about not being able to fulfill what I said, but business with those so far suppliers are very difficult and risky, and my worst fears have come true. I keep searching. But for now, this lot will be released with VIE-LONG knots.

You may wonder how it is possible. No one other than the brand itself mounts VIE-LONG knots. I am lucky to have good friends who help me in adversity. This is a unique opportunity for you. The BSB brushes will mount these knots. I am upset, but happy, because I think I've increased the value of the brush for you.

To go figuring I need to know if someone leaves because of this change. And if someone else wants to buy now that the you know the definitive knot. I will put some pics of a test knot I have.

Thank you very much for your patience. This is going to take longer. I can just to apologize. And thank you for the support you give to me. You are wonderful people, my friends.
