    Thanks everyone for the kind words and also looking and posting!
    I am positively sure everyone here at SRP would have done the same thing!!!
    The knot was a 18 mm silver tip. The youngsters favorite colors are blue and green.
    I had never given it any thought for size but it would be best described as 1/3 less in size as a normal brush, if that makes any sense. If there is a normal size!
    He likes to lather up with dad and has a plastic toy razor that he shaves with. He has his own mug and soap also. I had picked up a Marvey brush at a beauty supply store a while back for him because it was a very small one and I thought he could handle it well.
    Well it worked for a while but he had his sights on his dads brush!!
    When his dad mentioned that he was wanting a "mans" brush i looked through my knots and found this one. I had just received an order of acrylics for handles and thought what the heck. I felt it was my duty as a father and friend to oblige him with a custom brush.
    I took it upon myself to make it up for him without dads permission. Dad was very surprised and offered to pay me.
    I couldn't take anything for it because that was not the intention!
    I felt that doing a good thing may have returns for me later in life when I need some help or something.
    I didn't mean to be so long winded gentlemen.
    Be well!!

    Gentlemen for those following this thread. The young recipient of the brush "Brody" called me sat. to thank me for the brush. He was excited to have one like his dads. I asked him if he had used it yet and he said he had not. I then asked him if he would call me when he gave it a try. He said he would!
    Sun. morning I received a call from Brody. He said he liked it a lot. I asked if he had used it and he said he did. I asked if he was happy with the colors and he also said yes. I then talked to his dad and he said they shaved sun. morning. He mixed up lather and applied it to him self first then to Brody. Brody says to his dad when he was applying the shaving cream to him "smooth". His dad acknowledged that indeed it was. They had been using a bore brush before and this was their first try with a silver tip badger.
    There is no better feeling than to have a youngster like Brody call and thank me! I am sure he will appreciate it when he is a little older.
    Right now its fun. Hopefully later it will be a pleasure!!
    Be well all!
