I am going to float this as a possible item for trade. I am not interested in selling. I don't have a specific item in mind but I thought I'd see what offers I get.
My item up for potential trade is a Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger from the pre collaboration period, circa 2011. It was 100% made by Lee Sabini and the handle was turned in-house at M&F. The knot is fantastic and provides a decadent experience. It measures 33mm+ (measurement without a caliper) but is actually very controllable in use. This brush has really caused me to rethink how large a usable brush could be. I certainly thought that this would be on the upper end but now I don't think so. I could enjoy even bigger. The resin handle is a very unusual green onyx. It actually resembles the stone quite well. This brush is very rare. I believe there were only three made ever. Of course, the knot has never shed, the handle is in perfect condition, and the lettering is pristine.
Please don't be disappointed if I decline an offer as I love this brush. What would make me part with it? I would consider other M&F brushes from the pre collaboration period, particularly XL and Stubby's--the bigger the better. I also would consider modern razors, particularly Wolfman rare metals and perhaps Paradigm DE. I might also consider other top quality brushes. Let me know what you have.
