    Default Anyone tried a Glenn Ey from down under?

    I have been using one for a bit now and love it. 24mm. Tall and soft with great backbone. Only prob is I NEED the 1.5 scuttle from dirty bird to come, in a big way to really see what I can "whip" up!!!

    Never heard of it.

    You have a lot of nerve mentioning it without a picture.

    That thing is gorgeous. Up till now I hadn't seen a turned handle that screamed "must own". I'm gonna have to add it to the list for when SWMBO says I've been a good boy.

    they're beautiful....but I can't get past the 'Please also note that no harm comes to the badger. They are shaved in summer and their hair has fully regrown by winter'
    Shaving a badger isn't something I really want to do. Ever.

    Beautiful brush. I've always been leery of wooden handles on shaving brushes. I do have a Semagouge (sp?) boar with a wooden handle and so far so good. That is pretty enough that I might take a chance.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
