SOLD, PLEASE ARCHIVE - FS - REDUCED Brushes, Paladin, El Druida, M&F, SV

I'm looking for a Blackland Vector. It has to be in excellent shape. I have a lot of brushes for trade. The Paladins below are examples. The PK-47 has a CLSD5 knot and the Hi-Rise Beehive has a 2CSLH4. I have others including a unique Brad Sears Arley with a Nachtgras ebonite bottom and black top. That one has a 3 band super knot. I have an old M&F Tulip with heritage three band (shown far right in a pic below with other M&F brushes). A 28 mm jade Paladin Falstaff with a WHE knot. Saponificio Varesino brush that has about a 30mm knot. An El Druida brush with a nice wooden box. I'll try to get some more pics posted, but in the mean time, if any of these interest you send me a PM and I'll get you some pics. 
Brushes for sale: Paladin PK-47 $160 NOW $150 $140 (retail is $180). El Druida $125  NOW $115 (retail for new 26mm El Druida brushes is anywhere from about $140 to $160). 
Brad Sears Arley 28mm Black Ebony top/Nachtgras Ebonite bottom. Super badger (3 band) knot. NOW $130
Just added: M&F 2XL. This one is in the picture of the four M&F's and I've added four photos in the comments. Black handle isn't much to look at, but this is a phenomenal Finest knot from late 2018. There is a small spot on the edge of the knot where it looks a little thin. I believe this to be a group of hairs that have a very tiny white tip with black almost to the top. I've tried to show the spot in photos. You can see it in the third and fourth photos. This is way over on the edge and doesn't affect performance, but I am pricing accordingly at $130 (retail is $210). Prices include shipping to places in the USA and PR. SV, El Druida, and M&F photos are in the comments below. M&F SOLD

I found a Vector, so I'm pretty much looking for sales now. I've added some items to turn this into a sort of Den Clearing and some are priced to move. Go down to see ABC hard soap (about half used), Saponificio Varesino Tundra aftershave almost full (used two or three times), a Semogue Owners Club boar brush just broken in, and the unique Brad Sears brush mentioned above (handle is Ebony ferrule with Nachtgras ebonite bottom, and the knot is three band super). Soap, aftershave, and boar brush sold.

Nice brushes. You have a couple I would not mind owning.

Thank you. I also have a nice Rooney, but I'm not sure if I want to part with that one. There are others, too. I'll try to get a group pic.

Here is another one. Hucklaration with a B4. Dense, super soft knot with textbook gel tips. These were well over $200 when new. Something like $235 if I remember correctly. This one is for trade or sale. $170 would take it. That is shipped to the US and PR. I will add some more pics and some sale prices for other brushes soon, but feel free to reach out if you see anything you like or if I have mentioned a brush that you are interested in.

beautiful brushes!! GLWS/T !

PM sent...

Hucklaration is sold. Blue M&F Polo is pending.

Blue Polo has sold. I need to let everyone know that the silver and clear brush is not for sale. I'm hoping to add at least one brush later, an El Druida, with wooden box. The Harlequin PK-47 is for sale for $160 delivered to the US and PR. It was $180 new and holds a 2CLSD5 knot. The Hi-rise Beehive is only for trade at this time.

any chance of getting a peek at the SV brush?

I will take a photo when I get home later, but I'm not offering that one for sale at this time. I would only let it go for the right trade.

Pics of SV brush (trade only), and ElDruida brush ($125). I have never used the El Druida, but the previous owner used it a few times leaving some soap residue that I have not been able to get off. I don't want to use any cleaners on this brush.

Thanks. It is a great brush.

Regarding the El Druida brush: I bought the brush to display it and not to use it. After some time, I still don't have any place to do so, and funds are needed. It is unique and I imagine hours of careful work went into painting or staining the handle.There is some soap residue visible on the handle in the crevices. That is from the original owner. I have never gotten the brush wet and have not tried to clean it with any cleaners. I did try to wipe it off and the soap remains. I don't want to risk taking off the glaze that protects the wood. Since it is made to get wet I am probably just paranoid, but if you buy it you clean it at your own risk.

Brad Sears Arley, 28mm, Ebony and Ebonite (Nachtgras colors) handle, three band super knot. The knot is very soft and likes to splay. I've used this brush less than ten times, and the original owner used it even less. Brad told me this one is pretty unique in that he has rarely if ever used this color ink for the imprint. I'm the second owner so I don't know what the retail would be on this one. Regular two color Arleys with three band super go for $190. The ebonite would have added something to the cost for sure. I'm looking for $145 NOW $140 $130 shipped to the US or PR (anywhere else add $20 for shipping and know that it will take a while to get to you).

Semogue Owners Club boar brush. I've used it enough to break it in. The tips are like feathers. I think this is cherry wood (definitely not ash). I've seen these for $28 to $45 depending on the seller. I'm looking for $15 shipped to the US or PR. SOLD

ABC Hard Soap. About half left. I've seen prices on this from about $35 to well over $50. I just can't use it. If I don't shave very fast it starts to burn. I will ship it in the plastic container. $10 shipped to the US or PR. SOLD

Saponificio Varesino Tundra aftershave. Almost totally full, I've used it two or three times and you don't need much because it spreads like a balm (it is sort of a hybrid balm/splash). I like the scent, but it reminds me too much of a balm which I don't really care for. Retail is $23. I'm looking for $10 shipped to the US or PR. SOLD

ABC soap and Tundra aftershave have sold.
