But you know, she really likes Ozark Mountain, and I'm running out. So now i think I'm just saving on shipping by ordering them together, right?

Yes of course. You're being a smart shopper. And very considerate. You wouldn't want to run out of the soap she loves the smell of. Besides, the brush is a huge bargain.

I think I've missed out on this batch so I'm happy by default that I can have the benefit of watching the reviews and video's of it in action. Although I think it will be a bit more expensive , if the initial reviews are anything to go by ; it will be worth it.

The easiest thing to do is pick up some lotions, creams, and/or bath soaps for the wife and then say "I ordered these for you from Stirling, and oh, by the way, I picked me up a new brush as well while I was there." :-)

When I got my package in the mail, opened it, and saw my "Kong" ..............I could have absolutely sworn I heard Game of Thrones music and Darth Vader say, "Kneel, before your new mastah".

How is it? Mine won't arrive until Thursday and I am getting anxious!

WOW big brush! Looks really nice! Any plans for a future, smaller synthetic brush, maybe 20-24mm?

Yep.  We've got 22mm in route.

I think its really something special.  I'm a fan of backbone.  I've had a 24mm premium Grade A silvertip, which was my softest and biggest, until I got word of the Plisson.  It's probably worthy to mention, though, just because my silvertip was my softest, it wasn't my favorite, or go to.  I suppose its because I liked harder soaps and had used best and black badger brushes and seen how they performed on the harder soaps.  Also, I'm somewhat of a nuts and bolts, how its made guy.  So, I got to really searching out how to get the backbone I liked whilst not giving up any more than I had to on the softness.  Eventually, I found the 3 band super premium finest knot (when I got it, it was referred to as super 2 band finest).  That knot was as soft as a silvertip on the tips, but had the backbone I liked. .........now back to the synthetics.  My Plisson was softer than my silver-tip, but suffered equally with the silver tip floppiness.  It's not a big deal really as they are still super awesome just because of the softness alone.  However, it is possible to have the softness with the backbone.  Enter the Kong.  The Kong has that softer than silvertip feel, but also doesn't go floppy on you.  This reminds me of my previous favorite because it excels as much as the plisson in softness, but has the backbone I favor.  It doesn't give any on softness though.  I'm assuming this is because its a big brush with more hair.  Then, I ask myself, does the size inhibit the experience and I'd have to say no.  It really doesn't.  26mm Kong doesn't feel to big at all.  It's probably the softest brush available, and beats out the other brushes with similar knots because of its backbone density presence.  It's a true gem of physics.

I love mine. It is like a huge Plisson.
