    Description

    For a couple of years, I've been talking to Zenith about producing a larger knot. Finally, we've made it happen. This brush has a 31mm boar knot in it. The loft is set at 57mm with an effective loft of 50-53mm. The handle is 58mm tall with a total height of around 115mm. It's a hefty 121 grams.
    This brush is bigger than what you need. This is not a beginner brush. It will waste your soap and cream.
    Some of you, however, have too much product. You are having trouble justifying buying new soaps because your cabinet is stuffed and there isn't any more room. This brush is a solution. It will help you use up that old product and create space for more soaps.
    If you do purchase it, I do not recommend it to use with your Acqua Di Parma,
    Xpec
    , or Santa Maria Novella.
    Enjoy,
    ~Dr. Michael
    P.S. The knot is malformed from cramming it into a too small box. It will normalize with use.
    Zenith is a brand of shaving brushes made by Pennellificio Pandolfo in Palermo, Italy. Since 1902, this family-run business has produced quality brushes not just for shaving needs, but also for paint, artists, and cosmetics. Their shaving brushes and knots are
    hand
    made by skilled artisans the old fashioned way.
    Translated from Italian on their website:
    "Pennellificio Pandolfo has over one hundred years of activity and is the only manufacturer of its Sicilian sector. Already in 1902, he participated in the fair in Genoa getting a coveted award for the quality of its products. A family business founded early last century
    with the aim of achieving
    the quality brushes and special characteristics which in those days was not easy to find on the market. Started with artisan methods, the production was mainly aimed at meeting the needs of professional customers. Then the company has added new technologies by diversifying production, expanding the range of products and adapting to the specific needs of the market. Today, the production of Pennellificio Pandolfo includes products suitable to meet the professional needs of DIY: the various series of ovals brushes, flat brushes, ceilings, astuccini and brushes for particular uses, it has been joined by a complete line of rollers and brushes for beautiful Arts. The quality of products is guaranteed Pennellificio Pandolfo experience gained over time, from the careful selection of raw materials and the use of skilled labor."
    In 2008-2009, I found an unused brush at a thrift store. It quickly became my favorite brush and I used it solely for 6-7 years. The logo wore off years ago, but I always remembered that it was made in Italy. As I learned more about shaving brushes, I wrongfully assumed that this brush was made by Pennellificio Omega, the famous Italian brush manufacturer. Fortunately, in the spring of 2015, I stumbled across some discussion posts on Zenith brushes but was unable to purchase one here in the States. After contacting the manufacturer, I decided to bring these special brushes to you. My original Zenith brush has given me (and is still giving me) years of pleasure. I expect this Zenith brush will do the same for you.
    If, when you open your package, you are unhappy with your purchase, please contact me for a return. Unfortunately, I am unable to give returns on used brushes.
