20% Off Plisson

[Michael]

I just discovered this and just had it confirmed by the owner, J.J. Atkinson. http://www.atkinsonsofvancouver.com/personalluxury/shavingsupplies/plisson/plisson.html
offers a 20 discount on Plisson brushes. As he put it, it's "officially" offered only to B&B and SMF members, but he says that, in practice, he extends the offer to anyone who knows enough to ask for it! Not that it matters - most of us are members of all the forums anyway!

Anyway, for those of you who were not aware...now you are! :D And just in time for Christmas!

[Sejanus]

Do you have like.. 20% off discount connections just lying around? Geez.. :rofl

[Michael]

Believe me, THIS one was LOTS easier!!!!!!!!!!!

If I find more, I'll keep you in mind! :cool:

What Plisson to go with is the question....i get confused looking at their brushes.

I don't think you can go wrong.. they have some beautiful brushes.. amazing horn handles and some nice woods too.

I need to figure out what the sizes mean though..

[Michael]

Size 12 is larger than Size 10! :D

[Sejanus]

Size 12 is larger than Size 10! :D

I could have told you that simply from the bigger cost numbers beside the little numbers.... :rolleyes:

[Michael]

Two clever guys, aren't we? ;)

[Sejanus]

Two clever guys, aren't we? ;)

Sure seems like it! :D

[Austin]

You guys are insane. :eek:

[Michael]

Yeah, but we mean well. :rolleyes:

[Sejanus]

You guys are insane. :eek:

Normal is the new insane. Insane is the new normal. Get with the times! :D

[IsaacRN]

Wow.. interesting to see those definitions of the different types of hair rather then the simple scale I am used to.

Michael,

Thank you for providing all of this information. Interesting, informative and money saving too. I dare say that you have done more research than most of us would do before we made the purchase. :cool:

Michael,

You're welcome, Steve. But it's not so much "research" as I just can't make a decision! :o :D Besides, I have one brush for every day of the week - how many more should I buy?! :eek:

[Bronco]

I have one brush for every day of the week - how many more should I buy?! :eek:
Yepper, that's a problem. With each of us having different brush tastes, requirements and a bad case of BAD, it's hard to decide. The never ending search for that one brush that does everything....or....maybe it's just the "variety" factor. :D

[Michael]

...a bad case of BAD :D

Methinks you've found the answer!! :(

And as for all the discount-hunting...it's always been an affliction of mine! :rolleyes: For instance; Kent. I have three Kent brushes, BK4, BLK4 and BK8. The 12 is ridiculous, so the only one I still want is a BLK2. A $50 brush. 20% lets me buy it for $40. Big deal. But it's the hunt - ya know? :cool:

[rick]

I DONT pay retail !! :D

[Michael]

Good man, yourself!! :rofl

[Bronco]

............. so the only one I still want is a BLK2.

Yea, I was gonna try one but we seem to be waiting on the "red" drum.
They are still reasonable enough that I could wait though.

[Michael]

For what it's worth, I sent these pics to J.J. Atkinson and asked him which was a more accurate representation of the Tortoise w/ European Grey Badger Plisson. Hard to believe that these are (supposedly) pics of the same brush! He says that his pic (on right) is closest to actual. Too bad, as I rather prefer the other, almost black, but with a hint of brown in there).

Hmm, maybe a T2? :D

[Sejanus]

Wow.. you could fool me that those are different brushes. Both look nice though but I will give you a +1 on the black one. :D

[Bronco]

Hmm, maybe a T2? :D

What? :D

Course, my BK8 arrived from Will.....let's see.....what's next?

[Michael]

Course, my BK8 arrived from Will.....

Oh, I want to hear the report on THAT one! Might be a tad larger than you're used to? :rofl

[Sejanus]

Oh, I want to hear the report on THAT one! Might be a tad larger than you're used to? :rofl

Uh-oh.. I have a BLK8 on the way.. and I am used to a C&E BBB.. am I am trouble too? :rofl

[Michael]

I didn't say he was in trouble. I love mine!! Just that the BK8 is a bit larger than I believe he's used to. Makes a great "soap brush" though! :D

I used my BBB this morning with TSD Patchouli. Almost ran out of lather. My fault, not JoAnna's. :o Perhaps tomorrow, the BK8! I will NOT run out tomorrow!! ;)

[Sejanus]

Quiet about the soap brush! :rofl

It is LARGER than what I'm used too, I have had others about this size along the way. It is dense so I'm hoping that will calm it down some. I don't think we're in trouble, just a few adjustments to make. :D Michael is always there to answer our questions like "Where to park it?" :rofl

[Michael]

Get one of Bill's barber poles. Just don't expect it to hold any OTHER brushes!

Nice.. I can't wait for when I get mine. Hopefully they ship it soon.. ordered it on Saturday!

[Michael]

Here ya go, Ken...

[Sejanus]

Thanks for the pic comparison!

[Bronco]

Nice.. I can't wait for when I get mine. Hopefully they ship it soon.. ordered it on Saturday!

The BK4 that I ordered from them took exactly one week!

[Sejanus]

Nice, should have it by next week at some point then. Did they send you a shipping confirmation email?

[Michael]

Nope.

[Sejanus]

I won't stay up waiting for one then :D

[Bronco]

Nope.
