Great Tobin! A friend of mine, her dad's friend worked for DuPont and was the one who came up with polyester. It is pretty interesting and I'll have to look into some of the faux fur that they've developed. I'm a little surprised nobody has looked at some of the natural plant fibers out there and developed a brush from those. Or mushrooms as they've been making some cool stuff from them. I'll have to check one out sometime. Have a great one bro!
Another great review, Tobin! Both of these brushes sound wonderful. However, for me, the quality of my Atomic Rock at 1/3 the price more than meets my needs.
@@Tobins_throwbacks it's all a matter of what a person likes and is willing to pay for, like any other type of product. Have a wonderful weekend, Tobin!!
Sorry for skepticism, but Dupont doesn't have the most ethical history with product safety. They paid out how many billion for their nefarious activities with PTFE, PFAS and carbon 8. Sorry to piss on the parade.
Yeah, but to be fair every major corporation that has been around for more than minute has had the same lawsuits. BASF for example makes the VAST majority of synthetic fibers used in our brushes today. In May of this year they settled a lawsuit for $316,000,000 and it was over PFAs. You won't find one chemical company with clean hands. Not one.
And that's why I don't go into the Politics in my videos. Everyone has a past, no one is perfect. Not Politicians, not Corporations. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something. I'm not selling, I'm just reviewing a product 😉 And, I thought I did a kickass job of reviewing the product 😊
@Tobins_throwbacks there was nothing political about my response or their bad actions. Bad behavior that kills people is just bad behavior. If you are interested, check out the movie Dark Waters.
@petehendrix5142 like you, I am a fan and supporter of Tobin and his content. The Dupont lawsuit went on for more than a decade, and there are many in this hobby too young to remember it. I encourage all to watch the movie Dark Waters. As a retired oncology RN, I've tried to get forever chemicals out of my life. That being said, I'm an animal lover and China is hardly a shining example of ethical animal treatment. For 15 years, I treated cancer patients who worked at the local Dow plant, so chemical malpractice is personal to me.
Boom! The 🐐 and another example as to why! Great review my friend!
Good review!! I may pick up one of the reg densities. I have the OG STF and enjoy it.
Great review. Sounds like a great knot. Have a great week
The man delivers again! Great review! That's a sharp-looking brush! Thanks Tobes!
My pleasure!!
Nice brush review.

@Tobins_throwbacks you did do a kick ass review, Maynard! Keep up the great work. Glad you kept the politics out of it.
