    Default Copperhead

    It seemed to have taken me forever, and I'm sure he thought I was never going to get it finished. I received a handle from Badrunner13 a while back. I was finally able to get a knot from Larry at Whipped Dog. I went with a 26/65 Silvertip. I think it turned out pretty good.

    I have a copper handle from badrunner13 as well,balthough a more classic design. I love some of his modern aesthetics though, including his "Poison bottle" shapes.

    Your new Precious. You will love and cherish that thing especially since it's custom. That handle has tons of character. Enjoy!

    Ken, it's amazing! It's like using a paint brush! I had no idea how HUGE a 26mm knot was. There is just enough stiffness, it's like lathering with warm soft feathers! I had a 4 pass shave this morning with my Sheraton, and still washed lather out of her at the end!

    That think is HUGE, you must be able to cover your entire face in one fast motion. It came out very nice.

    I bought these brushes in a lot and am curious to what I got and what a price would be. They are a wooden handle and the knot is maybe Boar?
