I have the pleasure of owning a few of Brad's brushes. One of them recently developed a problem. I contacted Brad, told him about the problem and let him know that I was not the original owner of this brush. He wrote back promptly and apologized for the problem. He had me mail it back to him. 1 week later it was back in my mailbox, fixed with no charge. Brad not only makes amazing brushes but he is a gentleman to boot!
