King Custom Made Brushes and DEs and Restored Straight Razors

[king1976]

As a new Vendor member I want to introduce myself in few words.
I am 35 years old and live in Croatia. I started to use DE many years ago (probbably more than 10) and 6 years ago I strated with straight razor shaving. Very quickly that become my hobby so I invest lot of my time in learning things that are connected with straight razor shaving (honing, restoring etc...). Few years ago I decided to start making shaving brushes and DEs. In the beggining it was very hard and I rejected many of my finished products. Main reasons for rejecting was unapropriate shape, bad wood blanks etc..etc. When things become better most of my products I gave to my friends as a present. So, now I am here and I am glad that I can offer my products to this community.

Also, I want to say few words about my brushes and DEs:

1.The razors are supplied with TGN Parker (closed comb) heads. None of the razors have been used, they are just the way they were set. Every razor handle is made from high grade wood blank, high gloss polished and protected aginst water impacts.

2. None of the brushes have been used, they are just the way they were set. Every brush handle is made from high grade exotic wood blank, high gloss polished and protected aginst water impacts. Despite, it's not recommend to soak brush handle in lots of water (but all of you know that already). If you follow this simple rule your brush will serve you many years to come.
The brushes are supplied with TGN badger and boar knots.

Silvertip
Super Silvertip - Top of the line, soft creamy white natural tips well packed
Silvertip Grade A- Soft creamy white natural tips, well packed
Silvertip- Standard grade, not as soft as the above knots, greyish silver tips very well packed, excellent backbone

Super Badger
Super badger is treated silvertip. This makes the tips whiter and softer. Very high quality knot, soft tips well packed

Best Badger
Flexible and soft bristles with a bit of stiffness; great for massaging and exfoliation. Blend of dark and light badger hair to create a gray look

Finest Badger
Creamy white tips that fade to black, sometimes refered to as two band. Fairly soft tips well packed good with soaps and creams

Pure Badger
Coarse dark hair with firm bristles, good for scrubbing and exfoliating

Also, I am small, not mass, producer. Every brush and DE pass through my hands from beggining to the end (final quality control). I will not offer for sale product that I will not buy for myself.

Teo, welcome to the Vendor Corner. It's good to see that you finally got your License.

Folks, I can attest to the quality of Teo's work. I bought a Teak handles brush from his first BST post a few months ago. I liked it enough that I asked him to make me another one in Ebony in the same shape. I liked that one enough I bought a Zebrawood in a different shape. I will be purchasing from him in the future as funds allow.

Best of luck to you, Teo.

top notch.

[king1976]

Thank you guys.
I appreciate your feedback and I am glad that you are satisfied with my products and services.

I bought one of Teo's ebony brushes as well, it is wonderful, great finish and very efficient shipping even from overseas. It has quickly become my go-to daily use brush.

[JCinPA]

I also have one of Teo's brushes, and it is excellent! Review with photos in this thread.

Bog Oak shaving brushes addition:

What is Bog Oak?


Base: 36 mm/1.42"
Handle Height: 48 mm/1.90"
Knot: Finest badger (two band) FAN 22x46
Material: Copper Bog Oak aprox. 2300 years old
Finish: Sandblasted/Carnauba wax
Price: $ 100 USD
Code: BO001






Base: 33 mm/1.32"
Handle height: 57 mm/2.24"
Knot: Super badger 24x48
Material: Gold Bog Oak aprox. 1800 years old
Finish: Sandblasted/Carnauba wax
Price: $ 120 USD
Code: BO002







Notes:

Please note that the surface of the wooden handles are not perfectly smooth but textured. These are not imperfections or damages during the manufacturing process but the nature of the Bog Oak wood.

Bog Oak pieces are signed by the letter “T” (first letter of my name) stylized from the old Slavic Glagolitic script – Glagoljica, impressed with a hot stamp. Glagoljica is an Old Slavic alphabet created by the mid 9th century, which remained in use in Croatia until the 19th century. The tradition holds that the script was invented by St Cyril (by the real name of Constantin), a Byzantine monk from Solun (Thessaloniki). In this way I wanted to create a symbolical connection between old material, Bog Oak, and the oldest script of the Slavic peoples.
