Thread: Handmade Brushes from Italy

In case anyone wants to drop two or three hundred bucks:

Marfin Shaving Brushes - Handmade in Italy - Timeless Man

It's a very good price seeing as you can spend more on some plissons, Simpsons and thaters,and they are just a high quality production brush, I would have suspected it to cost more considerring the fine craftsmanship and knot he's putting in them. Tc

I've seen them. I think they've been around for at least a year or two now. He does fantastic work on the brushes, definitely a lot of craftsmanship.

But can someone tell me what shape the handle is on that home page???

From what I can see there is no real defined shape. Kind of like some modern art statement.

Innovative designs and the woods are finished beautifully.

Wonderful!

He seems like a smart business man. It looks to me like he takes the briar that is a mistake or won't make a good pipe and puts a brush in the hole instead.

Very unique looking shave brushes for sure. Fendrihan seems to carry some marfin - Fendrihan Canada .

240 euo is a lot for a handle like this
The biar is from 10 to 14 euro without shiping a plateaux - from 1 plateaux there can be made 2 handles
No need to give your money to the wind
I watch many chep badger knots on Ebay and i think that i will make 1 with briar handle for me
my first experience with the badger is not good , but i will give him a second chance

I clicked on the link and was rolling around in hysterics.

Does it vibrate to stimulate the hair follicle too?
