Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon catching up with @Tony_Forsyth to pick up the platypus and a mail call. Thanks mate :)
Is that the mail call in the background?
 
The Platypus brushes arrived in Perth earlier this afternoon. Met up with @DrBob and @RazorPlay at a local coffee shop, where over a brew we unwrapped our brushes.
Wow - what a spectacular brush it is! I am really looking forward to using it.
Well done, @Tony Forsyth - superb craftsmanship. Also, thank you for the speedy delivery and excellent packing.
Also, a big thanks to @alfredus for your efforts in coordinating the project, and also to @Korbz and @Monsta_AU.
What a great community we have at P&C.

What can I add, other than belated pictures?

And we were a little worried about whether or not they would be sufficiently packed...

Clearly needlessly!

Thanks again @Tony Forsyth for such masterpieces. And they aren't half bad to shave with either!
 
Just adding another favorable comment. After generous use of box cutters and scissors, first impression was "wow." The handle quality matches the "big names" and great handle shape. Brush is much better than original pictures and better than I expected.

I face lather with cream. Cleaning and 4 shaves now. A few hairs lost on cleaning and shaves 1 & 3. Used Fitjar Islands (Slåtterøy & Fjellheim), TOBS Sandlewood, and Baume.Be. Best lather and shave ever with the TOBS cream compared to my other brushes.

Has anybody else NOT used their brush yet?

I still cannot bring myself to do so ...

Mine is kept NIB, in a dark metal drawer, along with my colognes and aftershaves, only to see the light of day to show someone :)

I lashed out and unpacked mine for display. Took all my will not to leave as received.
 
Since I am the only one with 2, I have kept the actual LE for rainy days when I NEED a new brush :D :D :D
