The inspiration for this brush was for a better shape to fit your hand when whisking the shaving soap. To do this we collaborated on this with one carving the shape the other to turn the end for the knot to fit. To stabilize the root some clear resin was applied to enable us to work this timber.
This shave brush has been developed with my passion for woodturning. The brush also complements our shaving stands that we make. Each shaving brush is an individual piece as everything is hand turned by Barbara on her woodturning lathe. These shaving brushes are all different and reflect the individual tastes and needs for something different in life when we all seek something out of the norm. We use vegan friendly finishes on these brushes where possible.

Full description

This shaving brush is hand carved and turned from a piece of plum tree root that was locally sourced, we stabilized the root with a marine grade epoxy resin. Then the final finish was achieved by sanding down with grades of sandpaper to a fine grit then using Cellulose Sanding Sealer followed with three coats of Melamine Lacquer and finished with 3 coats of microcrystalline wax. The knot is a white tipped black synthetic tuxedo bristle knot, as shown below with its packaging tube.

Every shaving brush is documented and individually numbered, we send you this document of authenticity, when you purchase each one. This one is SB12, pyrographed on the bottom of the handle. We have paired this one with our Shaving Stand SS22 in the images shown.

Size of Holder 79mm high x 42mm diameter approximately.

Size of Knot 60mm long x 26mm diameter approximately. Overall length of brush 140mm.

This shaving brush is made from organic, natural, solid wood and will distort if put near a heat source such as a radiator, it will also discolour if left in direct sunlight. The item you see here is the one you will receive and I have aimed to provide dimensions which are as accurate as possible. Please note that wood is a natural product and can be affected by its environment.

Designed by Charles and Barbara Tolcher in Torquay, Devon
