Rudy Vey Custom Shaving Brushes and Restorations

**cosmicdoom** · 08-20-2012, 11:01 AM

I might be interested in one of those!

Some surplus handles:
First we have a two-tone, Maize and Blue (like U of M colors...) which has some little blue swirls in the maize (left over residues from an earlier cast), hole diameter is 22 and 18 mm deep; $22 plus shipping

Then a butterscotch PJ, hole diameter is 22 and the depth is 19 mm; $22 plus shipping

The last picture shows a resin stabilized Dymondwood "Charcoal" handle in Chubby/Stubby style. Sweet little brush handle with a 22 mm hole and a depth of 15 mm; $25 plus shipping

As always post here if you want one of these and also pm me. First come-first serve as always.

PJ and Chubby are both sold!! Only the bi-color handle is still for sale.

This is on it way to me today. Thanks again Rudy for your help and being so easy to deal with.

TGN two-band finest, butterscotch milk churn. 24mm knot with a 48mm loft

All the surplus handles have been sold, but I am sure there will be more eventually.

That's my tiger! I just got it from the mailman about 30 minutes ago, I'm uploading a couple of pictures and then I'm off to shower and shave with this 30mm Behemot.

I asked for the bottom "slim" section to be 27 mm so it could fit on my stand. For comparison my previous favorite (I'm already demoting it before even trying this one) a Frank Shaving 22mm Finest

The bottom of the handle does look like a tiger, the rest looks more like a 70's Groovy wall art, don't you think?

Thanks Rudy, I will contact you next time I feel the Brush Acquisition Disorder shakes.

can't wait for mine! i'm going nutso with excitement.

May not do any brushes and handles this week and weekend, just got back from the Medemerge with three stitches in my left index finger - results from opening a can of dog food gone bad.
Picture to follow tomorrow - if you don't mind. I am so po'ed about that stupid can opener which was not cutting all the way through, and the stupid me trying to break off the lid completely. Nice, deep gouge that bled like a stuck pig. Went to the doctor and they said I need stitches and a few days of rest and no work whatsoever with the finger - just missed the tendon by a hair....
Here as promised:

**NexlevMM** · 09-05-2012, 05:50 PM

Ouch! Hope you have a fast recovery Rudy, that just sounds bad

**bastimret** · 09-05-2012, 05:56 PM

GLWR Rudy!

**Gruder** · 09-05-2012, 06:35 PM

Here's to a speedy and full recovery, Rudy.

**luvmysuper** · 09-05-2012, 06:53 PM

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery!

**brucered** · 09-05-2012, 06:57 PM

Hope you and your finger feel better soon, glad it wasn't too serious and missed the tendon. That could have been nasty.

Thanks for posting the pic, they aren't too graphic (I'm married to a nurse, so this stuff doesn't gross me out too badly)....and like they say "Pics or it didnt' happen"

Rest up Rudy, get well soon.
