Came home early to get my hand on a brush this time. Opened Paladin web page and then went to YouTube trending page. Angry . 1 Hour later, remembered why I was sitting in front of the desktop Sad.

I suppose no Paladin for me.

I've done that before (not Paladin release). I was kicking myself in the face. I now set alarms a couple minutes before even if I'm on the computer... Just in case.

I was hoping that Paladin would be my first real Badger brush. All others I have so far are sub 125$ and I prefer my 10$ Zenith boar over them. I suppose my money will be going the Germans.
I try not to chase shaving items, I never buy limited releases or such. But Paladin handles look really nice, and a few gentlemen whose direct/indirect advice I listen to when it comes to shaving praised Paladin a lot. So after 3 failed attempts, finally I am feeling sad. (Or should I say first world problems are creeping on me)

Look at it this way: the Paladin handles will remain the nicest in the business, and more choices will be forthcoming. The knots will only get better. By the time you finally do score it will be the best Paladin brush that's come down the pike. I should listen to my own advice. Best of luck.

Oh, my friend, it is I who have sinned. But I remain unrepentant.
