[Dale.Whiley]

Well thanks for the welcomes lads
Couple of answers:
1 - not a brush I only have 2 users 1 is my grandfathers butterfly boar that I only use on occasion, the 2 is a Edwin Jäger best badger had it 3 years, but recently started looking for a new brush and narrowed it down to a 26mm The Golden Nib High Mountain White set at about 50mm in some black horn with abalone inlays, just need to decide whether to make it myself,or get it made.
2- several soaps but my fav soap is TOBS Jermy street
3 - a few AS's but my fav is Truefitt and Hills Freshman
4 - fav stropis my Scupple works 3" Vegi tanned horse hide with natural linen
5 - a couple of inherited DE's my fav is my grand fathers Aristocrat
6 - now the str8s well that's a whole different story, about 110 odd str8s in all about 50 restored and In rotation all by me except 2 severa customs I have made.
7 - Hones are a 300/1000 grit DMT, Nani 1k, Norton 4/8k, Nani 12k, Pike Swatty barbers about 16k, Tam O'Shanter about 3k, another pike, a dual grit frictionite,
Pretty well covers most of it.

Do they really take two months to dry out properly in Canberra?

With the wet weather we are having - I'm tempted to suggest a year to really dry properly ...

Most of that time is just the defrosting before they dry out

Just take it into the centre of town and let all the hot air dry your brushes in no time...
