Yesterday I received my second Shaver Joe Brush. It is an awesome brush on every level. The handle is absolutely stunning! And this custom brush only took 6 days from initial contact to receiving it at my doorstep.
The first brush that I got from Shaver Joe was one that he had already made, and since I liked it and it met the specs I wanted, I ordered it. I had always wanted to try a TGN knot, and it turned out that the TGN 2-band Finest (fan) truly impressed me. I was so impressed, as a matter of fact, that I contacted Joe about another one, this time in a bulb.
This brush is a custom from the ground up. I liked a photo that he had posted of a yellow & black Chubby style handle, but I wanted a Harvard or PJ style, specifically between 55-60mm in length. I let Joe pick which one. He went with the Harvard at 57mm excellent! Not only does this handle look incredible, the weight and balance feel perfect.
I also went with Joes expertise on the best knot size and loft for the TGN 2-band Finest bulb. I had initially inquired about a 24/48-50, so this one is 24/49.
Like I previously mentioned, it only took 6 days to get this new brush. Ill break it down exactly:
Oct 23: My first email to Joe about a second brush, this time in bulb
Oct 24: Handle decision made with a photo AND video clip (now thats cool a nice touch indeed!)
Oct 26: Brush completed with a photo
Oct 27: Brush shipped w/tracking #
Oct 29: Brush arrived at my house
I couldnt have asked for a better customer experience. Ive included the photo that Joe sent me, and my own photo (post bloom) alongside the first brush. I really like these brushes!
