Just sharing my happines:

I have been pretty good about brushes. When I got the Plisson, I was thinking that I won't buy another brush for quite some time. While this didn't happen, I have been able to try them and then pass all along. Only one brush net has been added to stay - a solid silver designer handle. The knot on it is, I believe, some unbleached badger: very very soft tips, hand-shaped knot, decadently floppy - and performs great with both soaps and creams.

The most exciting development - Little Cutie got a new Rooney Finest head That brush is really dear to me: love the looks, and performance with Finest is out of this world. The shipping delay was so big that I thought it had been captured by some zealous customs agent. Oh, the anguish... But in the end I guess I got lucky. This is my favorite brush now, what a knock-out!

I am very happy with the handles - horn, ivory, and silver in different styles

Cheers
Ivo
