Vlad, is that a GN or a Shavemac knot in that beauty? You have some wiggle room here, as you did make some exceptions on your sabbatical.
GN. Shavemac would have been lovely, but cost-prohibitive.

Here is my Rudy Vey. I got the extra stuffed Finest Knot from TGN. It is 24mm set at 46mm loft. The handle is marbled butterscotch, Eagle shape.
Rudy had the brush to me about one week after we first spoke. He was the most responsive vendor I have dealt with and would not hesitate to get a brush from him in the future again.

Just used the brush I recently purchased from Rudy Vey and saying that I'm simply impressed is an understatement.
Whomever is on the fence about purchasing one from Rudy, don't be. It is one of the greatest purchases I've made. Thank you Rudy!

HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA!!!
I thought I needed a butterscotch and this post confirms it.
Rudy, Will you work with a customer supplied knot? I have a 24 x 45mm one that needs a home.
Man... I love my 26mm, but this is really making me want a 30.
I currently have a Rooney 3/1 "Super" Silvertip which is a nice brush. I'm talking with Rudy about a 26mm ST/A and will probably go with a handle like KBuzbee's. I just have to decide on what color to go with. I want one with a little more backbone, yet soft tips. What is the loft is your 26mm?
Here are two Rudy just finished for me. They have each been lathered once. One is 22 mm TGN black badger set in a Polo-style butterscotch handle and the other is a 28 mm TGN Silvertip set in a BK-12-style handle.

Those are both very nice. The black badger is striking. Enjoy!
My beaten English Gillette Standard (possibly made by Rooney) before
and AFTER Rudy restored it with an 18mm Finest knot
Very fast turnaround and wonderful communication.
Highly Recommended !

That's a beauty. I love the black-white contrast.
Look at that, a 4-band brush!
Rudy just finished a 26mm STA knot in a BK-12 faux ivory style handle set at a 50mm loft. 
He'll do the engraving tomorrow and ship it out. Rudy was a pleasure to work with, especially with all the questions I had.

So are the 2 you have Chris. Rudy does some really nice work!
Rudy does outstanding work, and is pleasure to work with, but going through these posts may kick in some SBAD...

That's such a nice handle! Please post photos when done. Going with a 2 or 3 band D01?
Not quite sure yet. Any opinion on which one to go with?
I never owned a Shavemac before.....
