Or B.U.M.M.S., if you like .

For a little while now, I've had an idea knocking around my "think outside the box"head. I'm inspired by my lack of in-person learning opportunities for this wonderful hobby of ours. Because of all the e-learning involved for myself, and many others, I want to develop a universal system that can be used to quantify the various aspects of brushes. Because nobody has every brush, and not everyone frames things the same way in their mind. I'm on vacation this week, so I plan to spend the better part of a day tinkering with this idea, cause that's the best way to get crap like this out of my head & explainable .

I implore you folks to give your ideas on how different people can take measurements of brushes, and be able to convey definable differences/parameters. Kinda how PC gamers use programs to "benchmark" the rig they just built, so it can be graded against others. But in this case, a better example would be Product Q.A. labs & processes. Low tech is more universal. A great example would be how Q.A. labs test the stickiness of tape: see the last 30 seconds of this vid

A BUMMS chart would be a nice addition to shaving brush product pages. ...I see spreadsheets in my future

Time to sip some Apple Pucker & turn off this insomniac brain of mine. Catch y'all on the flip side. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Sincerely,
Crawler.
