Thread: Southwestern Ontario Meet Up

By the way, Andrew, I love this brush that I got from you!
It has tons of backbone, but retains lots of water. Exactly what I need!
Looking exceptionally gorgeous is a bonus. 👍

It was a pleasure hanging out with you guys at Mike's.
I think that Kyle is asking around because he's considering to send me some razors for honing, and he may be looking to get a razor from me as well.

I might be wrong, tho.

In any case, thanks for the kind words. I can't wait to get together again!!!

Yep, just asking around. I figured this thread would be a good place to ask! Perhaps Val needs his own thread so more people know about him or perhaps an ad on the member services! We need more guys in Canada!

post a pic! what knot is it?

I believe that one was a 28mm finest 2 band. Maple burl, turned to look sorta like a chubby brush.

This one. ^^^.

I'd love to see it In full bloom Val. Post a pic when you have some spare time away from those BIG Sheffields you do so beautifully.

Ask and you shall receive...! Not great photos, but it looks lovely. Looks much better in person, of course.





Just a few action shots. Pardon the poor quality photography.

Nice, I've been meaning to try a finest. My grade A isn't as soft as I thought it would be, although it's a great brush.

Kyle, Andrew makes some really high quality brushes!
This chubby is one of my top 3, and I have LOTS of great brushes.
His prices are very fair, too.
And needless to say, he's an absolute pleasure to deal with.

The one in your brush looks like it's a TGN finest/two band...wow 28mm eh? And here I thought my 24mm was too big lol

I downsized when I made my brush and used a 20mm TGN silvertip grade A. It performs really well...I really like how it lathers both soaps and creams, low loft brushes are my friend haha

I like the one harrywally did in african blackwood quite a bit...I actually really like the shape...might borrow the design if I ever get around to using the neighbour's lathe haha

Ya that thing looks way better now in full bloom, and looks awesome in your photos Val! Man, I might have to make myself one like that. Its hard sellin those brushes, I love them all!! Im glad yer loving it Val!

Loving it- is an understatement!
If I could have only one, this would be it!

Always hard to sell your stuff. I have really hard time selling my razors, too. If I were rich, I'd probably sell none.

Keep up the good work bro, you're doing great!
