Where did you order this from.  I'm anxious to try the 26mm Epsilon Knots.  I have a couple Vie-Long brushes and find them to be awesome brushes especially on harder soaps.

Commitment issues

After more than 2 years I finally commissioned another custom brush.

Thanks to Bob Quinn once again at Elite Razors for utilizing his amazing skill to provide me with exactly what I was envisioning.

After 4 custom Elite7 brushes it was time for a different shape profile. The Simpson Eagle has always caught my eye but I feared it would be too small. After using the Plisson handles for over 18 months now I no longer harbored such a fear and asked Bob to help me out.



I couldn't decide between two different resins so I went with both, especially after my wife expressed such an interest in the green one. The knots are from Chiseled Face Groomatorium and they are the 24mm Fauxmere knots. The lofts are set around 54mm which was about the highest possible to keep the glue bump hidden.



Now they are both in my possession and the maroon/black swirl will be used tomorrow. I'm sure my wife will be using the green one on her next shave as well.

Thanks again Bob for such superb work.  

They are both beautiful, Brian, and that green is truly eyecatching. Enjoy.

My new handle and knot
