Blue kirinite Shavemac

I wrapped this one up last night after the kiddies were put to bed. The handle is blue topaz water kirinite, and the badger knot is a Shavemac 24mm 2band silvertip, with a loft of 50mm. This was my first time using a Shavemac knot, and just by a visual inspection, they are very nice knots. Perfect uniformity, not a hair out of place and you can tell the hairs have been combed many times during the making. Every hair is perfectly straight and does not criss cross with the others. I really need to get myself one and put it to the test on the face.

Thanks Shaun. I'm going to continue to always add the progress pics, but I will be adding descriptions, as I've done in this thread, to describe what has, and is happening in the pics as I go. I got these ones out of order but I think it still works.

Say it loud...I'm blue and I'm proud!

Saw your pics on Instagram. Lovely work once again!!

Whoever is the lucky owner will now have a gorgeous brush.

One of these days...

Who ever the lucky owner is should be looking for matching scales.
Absolutely gorgeous

I totally agree,,, the progression pics make all the difference.

That blue kirinite is awesome, especially looking at it from the bottom in the first picture. Looks like blueberry ribbon candy suspended inside.

I say the same thing about you.... :chapeau

Dang it Andrew! Everytime I see one of these I want to buy one! As always, beautiful brush. I haven't bought a brush since my last with you. As soon as I get done giving glen all my play money for this month, I will probably give you some money in the next couple months. lol

Thank you, Andrew
