Review of how the bristles performed:

In short, wonderfully. The softest, most luxurious brush I've used. As I said in a previous post, the size, loft and density of these bristles rivals some of the Shavemacs I've handled. As I brushed the lather on my face, I couldn't even feel the brush touching my face, just the slick lather. It soaked up water like a sponge and stayed nice and warm as I was using it. The handle was long enough to use comfortably with my redneck scuttle (seen here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/showthread.php?t=15926 ) and fit my hand well. (duh, it was made for me )

I'll post a link to where the bristles can be found as soon as I dig it up from my old emails.
