Some time ago I posted about a new, upcoming line of stainless steel handles launching soon. Link here I had the idea to make a 'companion brush handle' to my Wolfman razor as I really like the WRH7 handle. I contacted James at Wolfman and asked him if it would be ok to create a brush handle giving homage to his design and he gladly allowed it. So, I contacted Vincent @Duvivier7 and he accepted the challenge with quite some enthusiasm! A few days later the handle was ready...and this weekend I received it in the mail Vincent even matched the brushed/satin look of the WRH7 - and all from just photos. This one is machined to 25.5mm and 15mm depth to accommodate a 24 mm knot. Due to the somewhat challenging design I gave Vincent it was hard to hollow out more and ended up weighing about 110gr. It's a very sturdy handle indeed and it goes really well with the heft of the Wolfman (James has seen the finished handle and really liked it ) Coming up Vincent will setup shop on Etsy and his own designs will run $35. Custom designs - including a potential Rubberset 400 homage handle - will have different prices. I'm super excited about my handle and have to say Vincent is not only a real artist but also a really nice guy to deal with! A photo of my new shiny: And, here it is next to the Wolfman. I love it! Coming up next: Now I have to decide on knot.....but I'll be sure to post photos of the finished, knotted brush
It's in the opening post - 110gr Due to this design it ended up being heavy. I think an aluminum version would have greater 'mass appeal' as I might be in the minority liking heavy stuff
oops, missed it in the first post. surprising given that many custom DE razor handles are in that ball park. I would have guessed it would have been heaver. Nice piece of work.
That is a beautiful handle! Perfect match for the Wolfman. Id be very interested in a Rubberset 400 homage handle.
Over on TSR we're toying with the idea of a 'stubby' 400 model as maybe a forum LE handle. Waiting for Vincent to chime in on feasibility and pricing. Maybe we could do a TSD LE handle if there's interest enough with forum engraving, etc
