A HMW has found a new home...mine!
Gentlemen, here is a peek at my newest acquisition, a HMW Plisson. I have attached a few pictures for your enjoyment and to show a size comparison to a Vulfix. My intial thoughts:
Pros:
1. This is a very well made beautiful shaving brush.
2. It has just enough backbone to make me happy, yet not too stiff.
3. I now own a brush that is made by an old company that provided shaving brushes to Napoleon's court back in the 1800's, blah, blah, blah...
4. For a 17mm knot, this brush is not as small as I had expected but, I like smaller brushes so this one is a perfect size.
Cons:
1. The tips are not as soft as I anticipated. Keep in mind I have been using a Super Badger Vulfix for years as my primary brush so not many will seem soft in comparison.
2. For a brush taking several hundred dollars from my money clip, I would have expected more than decals on the handle. I hope they do not start to peel off because the Plisson logo is really something to look at.
Overall, I am very happy with the brush. I think I will like it more once it is nice and broken in.
The picture comparision is:
A. Vulfix Super Badger- 22mm knot/ 50mm loft.
B. Plisson High Mountain White- (Size 8) 17mm knot/ 50mm loft.
