As a matter of interest, where did you order yours from? Lavender is always in my wheelhouse, and I've seen enough enthusiasm for Eufros here to be willing to take the punt before my 2025 sabbatical...

Well, he does a good job of hiding. If he really doesn't want to be found, I won't bother looking any further.@lu20vt knows I am a huge fan of Manuel's soaps and kindly gave me a heads up that it was coming.

. In the scrap bin it went, half made. He never got back to finish carving this one to final shape before selling all his brushware material to me in 2021. So I guess you can say it was a bit of a collaboration between us to bring this one out of the scrap bin and into my collection as a finished brush. I think this wood/colour combo represents somewhat of a TF Customs "Signature Series" and is easily recognised by those who know. I did have to carve/reshape a slightly new profile around the knot socket to get below the defect, before shaping a simple base that just feels nice in the hand. I tried to put a TF Customs Brass medal back to back with mine in the base, but it's detail was unrecognisable on the inside so I didn't go ahead with that idea. The knot is a high quality 26mm synthetic of some sort, exact provenance is unknown now. I figured I have enough badger brushes, and this little lost knot needed a home in a handle, so here it is. Not For Sale. (my preciousssssss.......................)
I just scraped in there with my order.Don't be disappointed
Manuel initially told me that he was "booked out" for his Aura de Lavanda, but he'd let me know if a cancellation came up. Sure enough, he emailed me on Monday to say there was.
