Not my fault. Nope. Nope. Nope.

I didn't decide to take the site off line on Tuesday - no Siree Bob! So there I was wandering aimlessly on t'internet and thought I would see how things were on the other side of the road, when I noticed this, still languishing around on a BST. Now i saw it when it first went on, quite a bit ago and I remember thinking - nice handle shape and good colour. So I will be honest, I was pretty surprised to still see it for sale, with a noticeable price drop. So I bought it on a whim. The fact that it was number 6 was fate (being a massive Prisoner fan - and this being a fan and I'm desperately desperate to justify buying it). For all those brush aficionados who love details it's a erm.... German-ish, Silvertip, sort of fan shaped and has a tortoise-y handle. Loft and knot size? Um.... yes it has those. For more specific info, @Nishy probably knows - do tell buddy.

On a whim this was the first LE bought by @Number Six (I think or he may have joined in on the second), erm @UKRob also bought the same handle and one other. 24/52 (or bulbs are this at least). Standard silvertip 2 band old stock so lovely and crisp when dry. Lovely brush. I prefer the larger 26 but 24-26 is my optimum width. Again from memory the tortoiseshell is more opaque at the bore hole in intense light. Tortoiseshell colour is beautiful. Great starter brush IMO.
