Here (http://www.handicraft-vn.com/shop/).

EDIT: I have heard it takes them a while to send stuff out, so keep that in mind when ordering.

His handles are used in most of the genuine horn brushes available. Since the handles are made of natural matherials and are hand shaped and polished, it might take some time to receive the handle.

They are very nice, I have four brushes with kimson handles. ( 2 shavemac, 1 Kimson, and 1 Semogue).

Did you just send the handles to Shavemac and Semogue to fill?

Shavemac usually has some of the horn handles to use. You can email Bernd and he will send photos of what he has available. I believe 23 mm is as large as you can go in knot size. I think I read somewhere that the handles can be sent directly from Kim Son to the brushmaker you choose but keep in mind that it could take some time. I picked out my handle from Bernd's on hand inventory and had the completed brush a week later.

One shavemac was a group buy, the other shavemac was a custom order with extra horn handles Bernd had, the Kimson was ordered directly from the Kimson website, and the Semogue was a limited offering.

Can you order just a handle form him and have it sent directly to you. I already have a 23mm knot thats waiting for a handle.

Wow, I wonder why it took yours 3 months...

I ordered a complete brush (e.g. handle with knot) from Kimson 2 months ago and it only took 1 day for the order to process and 10 days for it ship from Vietnam to Virginia.

Yes, he has several different 'empty' handles to chose from in what he calls 'standard (http://www.handicraft-vn.com/shop/handle-natural-horn-shave-bursh-standard-c-168_175_120.html)' marbling ($50) and a couple in 'premium (http://www.handicraft-vn.com/shop/handle-natural-horn-shave-bursh-limited-c-168_175_174.html)' marbling ($100).
