    Default La Bottega del Borgo

    Hi guys!

    My name is Tommaso, I’m italian and, from the passion for the wetshaving, I just began this new adventure in turning wood brushes. The name “La Bottega Del Borgo” (“hamlet's workshop” in english) is because… well, I built my workshop in a small rural hamlet of a village one hour far from Venice

    I’m glad to present in this place some of the productions I made in this last moths. I worked pretty hard on it. Every one have a 24mm Finest Badger knot setted at 48-52mm high.

    Welcome to SRP!
    Those brushes are the work of a truly skilled craftsman.
    I predict many great things will come from La Bottega del Borgo!
    Good luck!

    Apart from the brushes looking great, I love the originality of the photos. Welcome.
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

    Welcome to SRP.

    Some lovely work there.

    I particularly like the shot with the Asahi beer in the background. I consumed my fair share of that last month whilst in Japan.
