Rudy Vey Custom Shaving Brushes and Restorations

Rudy Vey said:

Actually, I just finished them, three different shades of butterscotch. The colors are created after real brushes that I have restored in the past years. Butterscotch started out as an off-white, ivory, colored material that over time due to exposure to light turns first into a golden, then orange and eventually into a dark pumpkin-brownish color. I have an un-used Made-Rite brush that never left the box it was sold in, the color is very light yellowish.

OK, here are the three examples, from left to right:

Tulip 4 (diameter 24 mm, depth 18 mm), $45

M7 (diameter 24 mm, 20 mm deep), $45

Chubby 2 (diameter 26 mm, 17 mm deep), $45

Price includes the shipping in CONUS with First Class mail.

I thought I might update this thread. Rudy made me two beautiful handles for two Elite Razor Manchurian White knots. The Disco on the left is 26mm and the Purple Haze on the right is 28mm. I will update the thread with bloom and other pics after I receive them if you guys want to see it. These are just amazing. Rudy is a true gentleman and was bombarded by emails by me and replied to them all because he is excellent at communication and has amazing patience. I myself need to work on having my crap together and having a clear idea of what I want before I get a brush from him or anyone else custom made again because these amazing artisans deserve a more put together customer. In the end, my foolishness didn't matter because Rudy is fantastic and made great recommendations to me along with guiding me through the process flawlessly. These brushes turned out just like I'd hoped.



For my thoughts on the Elite Razor knots that Bob Quinn sells you can find them here along with his handles:

Luscious gel tips on those knots.

Here are these two in person. I must say Rudy did a fantastic job on these brushes. The colors are incredible in person. Unfortunately my crappy photography does not do these any justice. The knots are just as soft and luxurious as my other two Elite Razor knots. The 28mm in the Disco brush is enormous. As a side note, Rudy informed me that it ended up needing a 32mm socket to install it. Super stuffed knot. Thanks Rudy and Bob!

Do you have any more of that butterscotch resin?

Which one, in principle, yes, I mixed up some dyes, so to make more should be possible.

all gone now!

Here is another very rare wooden handle: Resin stabilized Golden Teak Burl - hard to find!

Shape similar to a M 7, just a bit smaller. Knot hole is 22 mm in diameter, and 20 mm deep.

Just to clarify: it is the handle only, I just stuck a knot in it to show it as a whole brush!!!

Knot is a Shavemac D01 two-band flattop which would be the perfect knot for this handle.

$60 incl FC shipping in CONUS - first come, first serve

Still here?? I am posting it now on BST.

Wish this had come up before the spalted maple handle I bought from above. I do love the setup I got but I think the Plisson knot might have been a slightly better match to this color wise.

How much with knot

I will email you

Rudy finished making mine brush this week, absolutely cannot wait to see it in person. Photo looked fantastic.

Hope it's alright to post it before it arrives... I love the look of this thing...
