Anything in the pipeline for 2019

[Holyzeus]

In a all seriousness how about a Paladin or Brad Sears LE?

An LE from Black Eagle?

That’s a good shout, been speaking to him a lot lately but holding out for a hand tied knot from him which is a way off
He’s also going over to a website soon rather than messaging although that wouldn’t necessarily hinder a GP

I'm also waiting for his hand tied knots. I'm in line for brush in february/match. Bradley is really nice to talk to and I don't think it's impossible for him to do an LE or GB.

Paladin LE would be dreamy (those "round table" beehives are the nicest brushes I've ever seen) but they won't ship outside the US due to a restriction on exporting animal hair

They won’t but could possibly be circumvented by using help from our American members..

I cannot for the life of me understand the U.S's position on this. I am open to correction here but I cannot see their Badger hair being from indigenous U.S animals, therefore they are probably, like the vast majority of Badger hairs, Chinese in origin. The U.S seem to have no problem allowing import of hair but will not export it.

I guess it’s set up for indigenous animals and they haven’t bothered to set aside different rules for non indigenous.
If we were talking about Africa say then we wouldn’t complain about Rhino horn or Tiger teeth being banned
Very annoying rule but as usual legitimate uses get affected

Very true, I am wierd in that I really detest the use of Tiger Bones, Rhino Horn and Pangolin scales yet I'm happy to use Badger hair in my brushes. It's the classic One rule for one syndrome. I should really be ashamed of myself in all honesty

Tbh mate, i’m exactly the same
I love everything about using a quality Badger knot

One of the reasons I sold a pair of minty 19th century straights, just couldn't enjoy owning something made from ivory. Don't currently own any badger hair brushes and the jury is out on whether I'll dabble with them further or not

I struggle too and maintain an ignorance so I can keep enjoying my badger brushes.

Poor form, I know.

It's amazing how the western world holds certain animals above others and thinks them more worthy of life. Elephants, Whales, Dolphins, Tigers and others if killed cause uproar. Everything else is deemed fair game for anything.

 

[JayGee]

Whatever the animal, I would prefer it to be despatched humanely & without suffering prior.

That's where my demons lie; I don't know & the truth would be very likely unpalatable.

A good badger brush is without parallel though.
