Zenith Plastic Tortoise Handle Boar Shave Brush. 21x57mm Knot. Italian made. B6
DESCRIPTION
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.
They have three lines of badger brushes, their Black Badger, Best Badger, and Silvertip. At this time, I will be focusing on their Best Badger, Silvertip, Synthetic, and Boar brushes.
Plastic faux tortoise shell handle with nickel trim. Please note that the handle is made from plastic and not resin like the badger faux tortoise shell that I have listed. It's a really nice handle, but is shows the line where it was cast and is not like the resin handled ones.  It has a 21 mm Boar Knot attached to it. Loft is set at 57mm. The effective loft is 48mm with glue bump. Total weight is 51 grams for the brush. This is the smallest brush that I am selling and would make a great travel brush.
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 a brush at a thrift store that was unused. 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.
