Thank you for the feedback @SpeedyPC . I look forward to the day I see your PM through P&C to add one of my brushes to your vast and exclusive shave den.@TroyTools as I'm not registered via Facebook, because, I don't trust facebook.
However, you can also expand your wet shaving brushes via https://www.etsy.com/au/
PS. I'm thinking about ordering my handle and knot of choice from you, because, I don't have access to face
Sometimes they are a few days apart, but all the handles and brushes I make are both on here at my pages, and on facebook for those people that aren't on P&C. I get that someone without "messenger" can't reach me through facebook's message system, but my email address is there for anyone genuinely interested in buying, which has actually been used by some people in the past. My facebook page is just a free webpage that anyone can browse through. If they're going to contact me, they will (hopefully). If not, they can't have wanted one of my brushes badly enough, which I'm OK with. Exclusivity is a positive in my opinion!
I'm thinking of starting my own Squarespace powered website, but I'll wait and see what spare time I have left over in a day after I return to the workforce this year. This could all slow right down for all I know at this point in time.
I get that from a consumer's perspective that etsy is great, but I believe it's a different story for vendors. I did look into etsy a while back, and don't want to rip too badly on it (...rip incoming,,,,,) but after discovering how costly it was for vendors, (25% from every sale, plus no opt out of any advertising program they dictate to sign you up to without your consent, and charge huge for the privilege) I decided it wasn't for me. I'm not going to pay some multinational corporate parasites to profit off the back of my hard work for not doing a single thing other than coming up with an idea that lets them profit off the back of hard working craftsmen. They are a "money for doing nothing" business platform that I won't be supporting. It will probably cost me by way of potentially unrealized sales, but I can live with that. I'll just do it the way things were done before etsy, which wasn't long ago.
Please know that I don't mean to rain down on your well intentioned suggestion to grow my little business, and I really do appreciate your support along with all the members of P&C, but I think a short explanation of why I have remained a little low key and haven't gone the obvious etsy route to mega success by now was probably due.
Plus, truth be told, I'm lazy & old, and just couldn't be arsed with running a virtual online shop and blah blah grumble grumble and all that shit. I just wanna play with all my tools in my mancave and make beautiful things. Fuck the computer (says this while typing on the computer, DUH!)
"Ask and you shall receive"
That's how you get one of my brushes
Old school, is how I roll.
