Actually, I would use less, rather than more. In my experience, a brush that can handle a difficult product can handle anything. Hard soaps being a good example. I mentioned Otoko in particular,...

A commendable effort. My I humbly suggest a slight variation to your planned set-up?


Forget the break-in period. Thäter brushes do not need them. They do not break in. Once used, they keep...

I am afraid you would have to ask the fine gentlemen pushing their own brushes in this thread. To be precise, their own custom handles with $5 Chinese child slave labour knots. Interestingly enough,...

"also do you have a vested interest in Thater??" is not a simple question, but a loaded one. It insinuates that I do actually have a vested interest in Thäter. Which would constitute a conflict of...

That is, unfortunately, correct. Additionally, there is the issue of badger blondes. Seriously. An incredible amount of badger knots from China direct have been dyed blonde to increase the price. If...
