    First new brush in 20 years arrived from Rudy Vey today. The handle is a whopping 67 mm to accommodate my large mitts and deep mugs. 24 mm knot and the loft by my measure is about 53. Mighty comfortable in the fist. I love the heft and eye appeal

    De funk? I like that smell. Where can I get badger scented soap?!

    Thanks to all who praised Rudy personally and as a craftsman and pointed me in that direction. And a public thanks to Rudy.

    Very nice, looks just like a Savile Row 3722, is that a Shavemac knot or TGN?

    I turned your image right side up for you!

    Thanks for the kind replys and the 90 degree correction. It's a TGN finest. After de-funking, what is I'm sure to be a joyous report to follow.

    I'm not sure if that's a brush or an art piece. I'll settle on both.

    I dreamed last night that Jeff asked Rudy over for Thanksgiving dinner. :eek: I don't know where I come up with this stuff! But Rudy, if you are available .. Thanksgiving at the Stryker's is up for grabs! ;)

    It's hard to tell in the picture, but it's his Black Knight marbled resin.
