This was my very first experience buying from APShaveCO, and was my very first brush purchase. And Andrew made sure that my first experience, was going to be a good one, and wow did he deliver! I had him make me a brush using a G5C 24mm synthetic knot, and placed it in a Blue Lagoon handle, he did an amazing job. I've been using my new brush for a month now, and the knot has never came lose and fallen out of the handle. The brush works perfectly everytime I grab it. So many thanks to Andrew, I really appreciate it!
