That is simply gorgeus Kevin, that is really collectors worthy.
But shucks for some reason whenever I check on their site, they never seem to have anything in stock..
I've sent a couple queries to Florian recently and don't expect a reply any time soon, based on what others have experienced. I thought it worth some effort since the short time I spent with a White badger convinced me the knot is as good as anything out there: just the right combination of soft hair and medium backbone, somewhat denser than Shavemac 2-band silvertip -- without the wall of badger effect -- but with equally good flowthrough. I'm not 100% sold on the handle shapes offered but if given the opportunity will opt for The Barber model and hope for the best.

Thanks very much Aurelian28 - don't let the site fool you, reach out to Florian direct. It took quite some time to get the brush but I wasn't in a huge hurry and it came out beautifully.
As to the knot, extremely soft tips. I was concerned about the loft as Florian recommended setting it at 51mm and I thought that may be too low with a bulb. Came out great with a pleasant amount of backbone while still allowing for that soft face feel.
Fairly dense as well.
Kevin
