Hey I know that CH 3 in Stripe Ivory, how is it treating you?

Absolutely great! You see its companion in faux ebony, and I just completed the hat trick with a Chubby 3 Manchurian in butterscotch from JimmyHAD!

Very nice, congrats.
I have a butterscotch one as well, it is a beautiful brush with great face feel.
