So my birthday present arrived in a timely matter yesterday. After using a VDH for over a year I finally upgraded.
And honestly I couldn't be happier. Wonderful 22mm pure badger with 50mm loft. I gave Andrew artist control
and only asked for a longish handle. I seriously would have picked out the handle from a line up of a hundred.
The Maple Burl is wonderful and it creates some great lather.

Thanks again to Andrew (Harrywally) for my first badger,and creating a beautiful work of art.
Not to mention he did it for a great price!
