This is the latest of several Rudy Vey brushes I've purchased, either from the Master himself or through B/S/T here on B&B. This is a pretty special one that I ordered to mark a special birthday this year.
It's a modified "7" design, turned out of vintage (legal) ivory, and fitted with a hand-tied Shavemac three-band knot. The knot is 26mm at the handle and has a loft of 56mm. The performance is up to Shavemac's sterling reputation, of course. Overall height of the brush is 126mm.
As you can see from the comparison photo, it dwarfs its M7 GYLE and Lee 7 cousins. The heft of the real ivory is impressive, and all my other brushes - wooden, resin, etc. - feel light in comparison.
Hope you enjoy looking.
