*Sold*

Brad Sears M&F Polo in briar.
Labeled Blonde

27mm X 50mm knot
Handle is 63mm tall.

$190 shipped to the US please.
Willing to ship internationally at actual postage cost with insurance.

The Polo style in this size is currently listed at $215 plus a couple of months wait.

Too dense and scrubby for me. Used about 8 times since receiving around Christmas.

Pictures suck. Florescent lights with the cellphone camera. Sad

Give this beauty a new home.

Too dense and scrubby? You got me worried ... I'm waiting on a 2 XL Blonde.

It's breaking in nicely. Just has a wet tennis ball feel. There's a 2-3 mm glue bump which makes it feel like a lower loft.

The hair is gorgeous. Natural looking two band.

My Simpsons Manchurian felt similar to this and I nearly sold it. One day it just became the softest and scrubbiest brush I have. I love it now.

I suspect that this Polo would eventually be the same kind of dense backbone lather monster too as the tips keep getting noticeably softer each time I use it. It's opening up and the flow through is great. I just own so many brushes right now that to get as many uses on it to get there would take me forever and a day. If I used every brush I own right now this one would only come out once a month at most. When my Simpsons Manchurian was breaking in I was using it three days a week minimum and it hit its stride after about three months.

I also have my eye on a larger size handle. I'm 6'4" and my comfort zone with brushes is just larger than this handle is.

I guess I'll have to keep using the M&F until it is broken-in properly. GLWTS, great price for an M&F brush.
