The Varlet

Holy crap. I refreshed at 7:00 and brushes were available (one type). I clicked purchase and by the time I had my credit card number entered they were sold out. Less than thirty seconds.

Never heard of them before.  Checked out the website.  Very nice brushes.  I like the handles.  I swear I can hear the Gaslamp and Ranger speaking to me.  But $280 for a brush is not only out of my price range but even when I was flush with cash I would not be able to justify that kind of number on a brush, no matter how nice it may be.  That's just me.  Obviously they sell out in minutes. To each his own I suppose.  But definitely nice looking brushes.

Happened to me 2 times where they sold out in between the time I started putting my card number and hit the purchase button.

He also hand ties the knots, but I hear you on the price. The only one I have is from his Everset line (they're about 10 to 20% less expensive, still well over $200 for the top model). I got that one second hand with only a few uses on it. I think the most I've ever spent on a brush is $210 on a new 2xl and that was once. Usually I try to stick to the BST's or raffles.

I think I'm going to give up and just be happy with my Everset K2. They really are a lot of money anyway.
