Juan,

Can you tell us the model numbers of the new brushes, please? Also, I just noticed that some of the brushes have a "M" after the model number, which I never noticed before. Is this new, or did I just never notice it before? What is the "M" for?

Thanks,

Kevin

Have placed several orders with Gifts & Care - fantastic service and fast shipping (delivery from Spain to NJ has been faster than many US vendors). You won't be disappointed.

Kevin, in December we added 13061M and this week we just add 14832M, 14830M, 14831M (these 3 stand is included in the price, 23mm know), 14033M, 13520M, 13050M, 13052M (these 4 are knot 20mm) and 13120M knot 18mm (this one is travel size, total length 75mm).

Small detail but you spot it! We added the M to have consistency between Spanish & English version. M is the initial letter of Spanish word "Marrón" = brown. It's just to make easier to identify in the orders the natural brown horse hair shaving brushes again the standard horse hair with black bleached line. Orders in both languages carry same description to avoid any error.

Thank-you, Juan

New to the concept of horse hair brushes. How do they compare to badger? Finest, Slivertip... How about mane versus tail hair? Thanks in advance.

I would recommend you to have a look to this post written by some of our colleagues. It's an excellent piece of information about horse hair shaving brushes:

Good evening gents,

The new 3 Myrsol products are now uploaded in our shop, they can be purchased and shipping will begin on Tuesday. Don’t miss the new Astrigent After Shave “Metilsol”, the Formula C roll-on and probably the best seller of Myrsol products “Myrsol Emuslion” in roll-on format. Take your Emulsion anywhere, maximize and use just the needed quantity of product thanks to the roll-on system.

Thanks for comments and feedback on posts above.

Ciao Marco, as far as I know there's no plan to replace former La Toja Manantiales soap. I'm afraid it was not consider a good experience as product rotation was not too high. Unfortunately we're are still not enough wet shaving users!

[JeffBC]

I'm curious: is it possible to buy a Vie-Long knot separately - I'd like to restore a brush...

We asked Vie-Long this question several times as per other customers request. They don't sell knots separately. What I'm always told is that they want to make the completely assembly or manufacturing by themselves to ensure product quality.

On the other hand, they have restore some brushes for us. If have sent them handles that I received from customers and they have fit the knots in customers handles. It's not cheap as it cost basically the same as a new brush but we all have handles that would like to keep forever and that's a good alternative! We can help you with this type of request.

[JeffBC]

Ok, thanks!

Goodbye, gentlemanly restraint :(

Shipping costs were killing me.

Gentlemanly restraint still on!

What a pity, I love that La Toja Manantiales soap, the best one I ever had! Perhaps in a cheaper container? I love that wooden one, but it's all about the soap for me, so a plastic box would be fine for me as well. I wouldn't even mind to spend a couple of Euros more on that soap, it just is too good.

Wim, if you contact him you can ask about weight and keep the weight at a maximum.
Juan, you are a pleasure to do business with. Very nice packaging as well, glass well wrapped and protected.
The brush is absolutely beautiful. The natural lines of the olive wood are very tasteful. Customizing loft is a great service.
I'm impressed by the quality range of products! The aftercare and service is top notch, so kudos to you Juan!
Again, thank you for your service, and expect more future orders.

It should not be that bad when shipping to The Netherlands as we have a flat rate up to 2 kg - 13,50€.
We can always check what is the specific issue of your order. Just drop us an e-mail to [email protected]

I will take the chance to mention that Edwin Jagger Safty Razor CHATSWORTH BARLEY is now available on our shop.
