My New Brush... Bragging!!
Hey Gals and guys,
yesterday was my 6th year wedding anniversary (pretty good for a 25yo gal). My wonderful and talented husband made me this AMAZING brush out of a wood called purple Gidgee! Have a look!It's so shinny too!. He's made this amazing shape that is so wonderfully comfortable to hold and looks so swanky!! LOVE ITT!! I used it this morning and it took only seconds to lather my whole leg! it's a 28ml! SOOO HAPPY!!
for those who have missed me I'm still old school shaving, just been using the good old DE regularly and the straight for special times.
xx

Thats a really interesting looking brush. You don't often see a square handle. And it's nice to see some native Aussie wood being used. Enjoy!

Hello, Pearl Razor:
It is amazing what beauty love can spark.
And, yes, your new brush also has an air of nobility.

Aww thanks you guys
Just so you know regarding the shape:
it is the most comfortable I have tried!! I've been wet shaving since 2008 and have use a few different brushes and this one is by far the most comfortable grip due to it's cool grooves on the sides, I hold it almost the same type of grip you hold a pencil. Hubby has made quite a few of these before but this is his first 28ml and I LOVE IT!! makes me want to shave every day! He is also going to rescale a razor in the same timber for me!! So cool!
