Declaration Brushworks Washington in the house.

I used my Washington for the first time today and am very impressed with every aspect of the brush. Aesthetically it seems a bit plain, but ergonomically it is like an extension of my hand and on the face the knot is magical with super-soft tips and firm resiliency. It is an exciting time to be a brush collector, or just a wet shaver in general, as we now have three companies producing a completely handmade brush after nearly a decade of unavailability. I'm not saying that companies that use computerized lathes and/or imported knots aren't producing excellent products, but there is an additional level of satisfaction in using something made entirely by hand. I look forward to seeing how this brush feels after the knot loosens up a bit, but I will also be on the prowl for the other models.

Currently they are available... (update, sold out)

I have a Jefferson. I'm about 10 shaves in and I am blown away by Scott's brush work. First I find them aesthetically anything but plain. The handle material is unique, slightly translucent and has a bit of heft, of greater mass feel than a similar size Simpson or M&F. The color... ymmv but elegant imo. I have no idea where he sourced his badger but its unique too. The last M&F I bought a year ago has a nice gel tip face feel- the Jefferson tips take the cake now, no contest. Very dense hair with no flop in spite of generous loft and there is not a bit scritch. No glue bump for those who care. It's a gorgeous knot. I just bought a Washington.
Scott, once enough of these get out and word spreads you are going to have a serious supply problem on your hands...and the prices will likely rise to meet what they are truly worth.

Got me a 30mm and 27mm

Nice work. All gone now. Still a 24mm but too small for me.

I snagged a Jefferson, missed out on the Franklin.

Nice work. All gone now. Still a 24mm but too small for me.

I was thinking the same think so I picked up a Jefferson and the knot is Huge. I ordered a Washington tonight. If its anything like the Jeff it's going to feel a lot bigger than 24mm

Buddy if the Jefferson is huge you just sold me on it. I was thinking about getting the really big dog but the Jefferson is probably perfect. I'm going to keep checking the site.

Huge to me . Bigger than my chubby 2 super.

Still checking here and there for the 27mm or the 30mm. People really seem to be digging these knots!

Look forward to some dramatic improvement. Mine has taken on a new dimension after 8 or 9 lathers. Last shave with it was sublime... really.
