    Due to popular demand we have again asked our own B&B Vendor and brush artisan Rudy Vey to make this years B&B LE Brush. For your approval...... A custom Rudy Vey.... in Aged Faux Ivory. The photos below are the Artists Proof of the brush. Mr. Vey has graciously agreed to make 100 brushes this year instead of 75 as we did last year. We will be offering them in two different knots this year. A TGN knot like last year, and Shavemac D01We will do a maximum of 50 with a Shavemac knot. So.... have a look and get your order in early. Make sure you note in your post which knot you are orderingThe TGN KnotThe shavemac D01knotEngraving on the handle bottom- Artists proof
    A quote from Rudy Vey to give you all the specifications and details: "This is a group buy for a limited number of B&B 2012 LE shaving brushes. The buy is open to all members of Badger & Blade and is limited to a total of 100 brushes. The brushes are numbered: 1/100 through 100/100.The brushes are laser engraved on the bottom as shown in the pictures.The handles are made from custom cast resin in an aged faux ivory color,the resin blanks are cast in very small batches so minute color deviations are present.We have selected the best quality blanks for this project.Every handle is turned, sanded and polished one at a time by hand. Small deviations will add individuality to each handle made.The handle height is 54/55 mm, the handle Shape is a classic Key Hole Style. Both of the knots diameter are a nominal 22 mm (this means the diameter where the hair leaves the handle is about 23-24 mm.) Both Knots are two-band finest in fan shape with a loft of approx 48 mm.The brushes will come in a plastic tube that is suitable as a travel tube.Selecting a specific number in the run (XX/100) is not an option, the first 50 brushes,or however many are sold, will be the Shavemac DO1 knots.

    First shave with a slant.

There was nay a drop of blood nor any abrasions. But.. I did noticed that the shave was way less satisfactory than a normal shave with my...

    5 shaves.or 5 days?

    Thread Starter: Sendit

    Ok guys, so I am on day 3 of my Astra Premium blades and things are going well. As a new DE shaver, I have limited my shaves to two passes WTG. It seems that the blade is losing some of its edge, leading to a slight irritation. I think this is caused because I find myself pressing to compensate for...

    Help me identify these antique Gillettes

    Thread Starter: jestah93

    I bought these two cased Gillette DE razors this weekend at a local antique store. When I bought them I had a general idea that they were probably from the 20s-30s, and I was struck by them because of their cases and blue blades. I came by them for $20 apiece. When I came home I immediately...
