Anyone else receiving the new Vie Long HMW?

On Foro Afeitado forum, they are almost ready to ship the custom forum brush for 2019. This may be a brush not many would love as I see many gentlemen loving a more dense, backboney, 2 band brushes with gel tips. This brush is likely to one of the last brushes I seek to purchase. I could be happy with the handful of badger brushes I already have but this is right up my alley. HMW 3 band, untreated hair, bulb shaped, complete free loft, which to me equates to a knot that lends to fast lather production and optimum lather release. If you want to see a bit about the brush, here is a link with some pictures from our friend Teiste

How does one get one of these?? Gorgeous.

Not receiving it, but it does look nice. Extremely tempting... It looks like it would make a great complement to the 75th Anniversary brush Vielong made in 2-band.

The group has the list closed already. Surprisingly, it was very affordable in my opinion! 95 euros before shipping is a steal. I'm not sure how many were made but they also made it available to members if they want to opt for a synthetic knot. If I find that I do not care for it and want to sell, let me know if you want me to message you.

Jesse, you and I have had many of the same brushes and have some similar tastes. But I wasn't too impressed by the 75th brush. But it could also be that I don't care for the 2 band brushes anymore, especially in the more bulb shapes.

It hit me that the handle is the same as the 75th, other than the handle material. It's a shame that it's closed now. I think it's that you don't have a preference for 2-band. I'm not sure where I stand with 2-band. When I want to use one I really enjoy them, but I typically lean towards 3-band. For me the 75th was a particularly excellent batch of 2-band. Some of the softest tips I've felt in a 2-band. The backbone I would probably put at Simpson 2-band level with maybe a touch more stiffness. Quite remarkable as the density of the Vielong doesn't approach Simpson's 2-band. If Primo doesn't want the brush let me know and I'll take you up on it if you don't like it.

Thanks, I'll pass.
