Paladin Shaving

Would have loved to order one but as I do not live in US it is not possible unfortunately .

Got the Somerset 30mm WCXL. Really, really happy.

Yep add me to that list. I do have an original Chief from way back though.

... seemed to be the release of bland, butterscotch and 28 mm."

Eh?

Causal counter-observation:

I count 14 different materials: Ivory, Somerset, Butterscotch, Lapis Lazuli, Lemon Drop, Briar, Cobalt, Disco, Ebony, Tigris Perla, Jade, Moonjava, Malachite, and Tortoise?

Nine out of 65 were Butterscotch. It is a mainstay, but there was certainly a fair amount of diversity.

The 26s and 28s were about evenly balanced, with one or two more 26s than 28s and five 30s.

highly biased counter - counter observation:

An interior decorator friend once told me "there are more colors than beige and brown". I think shaving brushes should be multi-colored. I agree with your wife that the Moe in MoonJava was spectacular (I tried and lost in cart).

Very diverse selection of brushes. I purchased the Cobalt Sherlock and some internal debate over the Winston in Disco or the PK47 in Disco (I already have a Chief in Disco). I would look every 5-10 minutes at remaining brushes. My observation was the MoonJava and Disco brushes seemed to sell quickly. I looked after a hour or so and counted 3 Butterscotch unsold and the majority were the 28mm.

My initial comment was an attempt and sarcasm/humor. I do wish was to see more Moe's in Moon Java (maybe Sherlock in MoonJava)? . My intent was not to take-away from your excellent work.

While asking, in my excitement last night I forgot to login to my account, any chance include the purchase?

That lone Ebony brush is probably what many will be chasing. What a beauty. I love what you do with Ebony.

Additionally, I am enjoying how your cobalt brushes look with the white writing on them much more than the black engraving. If I were to make a passing comment I might say that your Malachite brushes would be INCREDIBLE if they had the gold lettering your ebony brushes have. Just my two cents.

Ken you've really outdone yourself the past year by adding all of the new colors and shapes to your releases, you are my absolute favorite brushmaker in the world now.

We received a box of handles from Corvallis in time, hopefully, to pull off one more release before we take a hiatus for Cody's wedding. We're shooting for Thursday, June 15.

Here are a couple not great photos of the handles just removed from the box. Note the new guys, which include a 26 mm Sumo, a 28 mm Buck Rogers, and the Cleo. Those who read Egyptian hieroglyphics will identify Cleo by her cartouche.

Stay tuned.
