Genuine horn, High Mountain White hair (2-band to us).

The very top of the Plisson range - which is mainly about the name.

Have a look at their (pre-ban) ivory-handled brushes - £1,500 !!!

Yep, give or take a few £

The 20 is one of their larger versions, coupled with horn it becomes expensive but as pointed out Ivory can be a real price hike. Some will pay it or they would have stopped it by now. I bought a 12 Horn HMW and I don't regret it for a moment, tips are stiffer than I expected but it is a very pleasurable experience.

Is it worth it?....not a chance....

This is a prime example of asking the price 'that the market will bear'. There is NO relationship between these prices and intrinsic costs (both materials and labour).

If you were paying $600+ I would expect more than a poxy transfer label. Unless there's an engraved one on the otherside, but why not show that one?

I believe that's what the Royals refer to as : " reasurringly expensive ! "

Blast my twitchy hands. These are about as close as I got to these renowned brushes and off they went.
