Jayaruh #96 was delivered today. This is my second Jayaruh brush, joining #163. It may or may not be the only brush Jim has made out of Purple Heart. I really like the color of the handle, and it holds a 26mm two band knot. Jim told me this handle was made before he had a lathe, so you are looking at old world craftsmanship right there. Thanks Jim. The first photo is a close up of #96 and the second one shows it next to #163, a brush Jim named the White Queen. I guess I get to name #96 and I am thinking it reminds me of a Plum.
Three boars JR 61, 164, and 189 arrived today. They join 164, 187 and 200 I have a nice even number now...maybe the JRBAD is over...maybe not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I got # 111 and 112 on Monday; both Purple Heart. I'll post them after I get in and install the knots.
Thanks for clearing that up. There are a few Jayaruh brushes that I couldn't find information on, and I admit to rushing my research a bit. I can't wait to see them.
Thanks. I have used 61, 164, 187 and 200. All perform well, but 200 (2-band) and 61 (omega boar knot) are my favorites...so far. I need to break in and use 184 and 169 (169 is wife's...maybe). There are so many shaves a guy needs to do and it takes time to use them all. It does give me something to look forward to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thrilled to have these two wonderful brushes join the family! Jim, thank you for sharing your craftsmanship with all of us. The brushes are absolutely awesome!
Used my JR#130 with the Maggard synthetic knot to lather up Maggard Limes & Bergamot soap. Wonderful shape that fits my hand just right. Thank you Jim!
Thank you, Sir! I cut a low hanging limb from a cypress tree in my fathers citrus orchard. After some time drying, and I shipped a few pieces to our Craftsman. I discussed with Jim my desire for a handle similar to an Omega Pro #10098. He used his skills to craft up that handle & another similar (#131 I think). The photo is clipped from my SOTD. I use my Android phone and a free app called Snapseed. Then a little photo manipulation with a 2001 version of Paint Shop Pro. One day I'll throw together a light box and up my game by loosing the shadows.
My #59 is in the on-deck circle.....probably will use it next week sometime. (Probably? Sometime? I sound very sure of myself, don't I? lol).
