Savile Row Brush News

[guenron]

After just about boxing Charles about the ears, he was kind enough to provide me with two interesting tidbits. First, here is a compendium of information about the available handmade silvertips.


Per your request, here are the available Savile Row silvertip brushes; the first two
numbers in the codes are the series (meaning brushes with the same first two numbers
have the same handle shape), the last two numbers in the codes are the knot sizes:



All 22mm = $98.00

All 24mm = $115.00

All 26mm = $135.00

All 28mm = $150.00

All 30mm = $170.00

I took the liberty to link the shapes to the pictures..

The second bit:
The SR-104, SR-108, and SR-112 with faux tortoise handles in Pure Badger and SR-204, SR-208, and SR-212 with faux tortoise handles in super badger are now also available with the (white) faux ivory handle. Same shape, same great badger..:thumbup1:

Ron:

Thanks for putting all of these in one place. It makes for one stop drooling!

If anyone's looking for an absolutely wonderful brush, look no further than this line of brushes. I have the 3126 and it is luxurious to say the least. Excellent vertical hair strength, very soft on the face, holds a ton of water, and whips up a mean lather. :thumbup:

[guenron]

I know that one day, as if by magic, I will go to QED (http://www.qedusa.com) and find a site where all the ranges are represented and I can find them on a page other than "OTHER." It might even display the page tags so you can refer others to them. And then I woke...

[roughrider]

Thanks for the info Ron.

[shavingrace]

Brilliant post. Thanks for showing the pictures. This line of brushes is just phenomenal, and Charles himself is a truly knowledgeable guy, and a pleasure to deal with--now if only your "wish" would come true! (One downside to your fine effort: I must have one of these beauties...damnit.)

Charles proudly announces the addition of the 3132 and 3332 to the Savile Row range of silvertip brushes. Not for the faint of heart, this is the badger-lovers brush. If you are looking for luxury, look no further!
The 32mm knot models are presently being offered at $195.

Do these come with flotation devices??? :w00t:

Randy

[xChris]

Who needs a flotation device -- just drop one of these new 32mm brushes into the body of water your floating in, and watch it dry up! :eek: :biggrin:

[rtaylor61]

Chris,

Having used a 30mm knot, I figure that with 32, on the first lathering you could drown!

Randy

[xChris]

Randy,

I hear ya -- I just went the other way with the joke.

I reckon these are just the brushes for those of us that can't seem to use our creams and soaps fast enough, huh?

Chris,

I sold my 30mm, and the largest brush I now own is a 26mm. Somedays that seems like more brush than I need.

Unfortunately, they await my tax refund...

Ron - this is a great post, thanks a ton for your efforts.
I will be buying a new brush soon and I've pretty much decided on a Savile Row but I couldn't find an easy "all-in-one" reference page for them anywhere - until I found this thread.

See - some people actually do use the search feature :thumbup1:

Maybe if we all just email Charles 50 times a day with questions, he will be forced to revamp the website and keep it current. :biggrin:

[Juaquin]

Does anyone know the knot size of the C&E Best (the $35 one)? I want something bigger than it, but not too much bigger.

I believe it is 22mm...althogh a SR in 22 would probably act like a bigger brush than the C&E.

Thanks. I think I'm going to take a look at the 24mm knots then.

My heart soars like an eagle to see that these posts are "FINDABLE"! I keep on Charles, but he's afraid if he advertises the brushes he might just sell them.:biggrin:
I have asked him to get a photo of the entire lineup.. Hah! Fat chance. :cursing:

[TromboneGuy]

Surely there's an enterprising web guru on here that might offer to re-vamp Charles's website for a free brush or case of shave sticks?

Heck, once it hits summer I'd offer, but I don't know anything about merchant and database software.

In all honesty, I don't think Charles really wants his website updated. People might actually order off of the automated system and not call him. :biggrin:

[DustBow]

He's obviously doing fine & runs a great business, but he could be making so much more money....impulse buys, newbies to wetshaving, people searching the internet for supplies - all these people would be giving him more business if his website was updated and fully functional.

Oh well, I'll keep ordering from him and contacting him first whenever I "need" a product. No telling what would happen to my bank account w/ a current QED website.....

Do you know the bristle height of the 3118?

I think Jim was kind enough to post an answer here (http://www.badgerandblade.com/vb/showpost.php?p=217616&postcount=37) where you cross-posted this question.

[PaulR]

Thanks for this thread Ron. After getting scared off Simpson brushes by the quality issues, I've started looking pretty hard at Savile Row, but was a little confused about the series numbers. This thread definitely helps out.

[ucliker]

The only reason i keep putting off ordering from Charles is his website

[momo360]

Give him a call or email him with any questions, you'll quickly forget about the website. Nothing like old-world quality service, which is exactly what Charles provides; it is as much a pleasure ordering from Charles as it is using his grade-A products.

I agree. You are missing out on some fantastic products and dealing with a top notch individual. Don't even worry about the website, shoot him an email or give him a call and he will take care of you.

+1 on this. And don't worry about the quality of the SR brushes, I would put them up against about anything!

Fred

[mrcleanhead]

+2 on Charles and SR brushes. Probably my favorite brush as well as the best quality and price. Eventually I will break down and buy that 32 mm Monster!

+3, I got my SR 3226 from Charles and it is my favorite brush, by far. I have been using it for 13 months, now.

Tim

[johnniegold]

I've had my 3226 for about 11 months and it is easily one of my favorite brushes. Although, I have started to sell off some of my larger brushes and making the move to smaller brushes, this one will always stay in the rotation. I have an ebony SR 3318 in hopefully arriving Monday. :thumbup:

How does the quality of Savile Row compare to Shavemac/Edwin Jagger??? I think I have my next purchase narrowed down to these. 24 to 26mm knots. I think they are all in the $115 to $135 range. Kris

Well, I don't have a Shavemac, so I can't make that comparison. But, I have two Edwin Jaggers and I prefer the Savile Row.
