Hi All,
Recently picked this up and have not used yet. Did not find it in the compendium. Anyone have or use? Comments welcome.
From the internet:
European Badger Hair - Handmade
Genuine Olivewood Handle
Medium Knot Size 21mm - Handle Length 1.6 Inch - Hair Length 2 Inch - Overall Length 3.5 Inch
Made in Valencia, Spain by Vie-Long S.L.
Vie-Long Shave Brushes with Olivewood handles are exceptionally beautiful. Each handle is handmade and finished with a multi-coat of clear lacquer that highlights the individual olivewood grain unique to each piece. The Vie-Long logo and crest is in black. Each handle is 1.5 inches diameter and fits the hand nicely with recessed band at the base for a secure grip. Olivewood is so dense that water cannot penetrate it and therefore a perfect wood to use for shaving brushes.
Badger hair used in Vie-Long Shaving Brushes is sourced from Europe rather than China and is of very high quality. The tips are never trimmed of their natural tapers but rather are formed in wooden molds to the bell shape by hand. The silvertip badger hair in this brush are selected with darker shafts (very slightly thicker than normal silvertip) giving it a little more backbone than normal silvertip. Compares with two-band shave brushes by Simpson.
