http://www.etsy.com/listing/1772204...ftnav&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery has anyone here ever dealt with this guy? Some of his turned handles are pretty awesome. Unfortunately he seems to be a one size for all kinda guy
I have two brushes from this guy. When I ran across his Etsy site, I saw that he was basically 5 minutes from my house (but on Ft. Meade (Army)). I met him and was able to see these glow handles in person--just stunning! I went with something else and had him do a custom pink blend for my wife (gave as holiday gift). He turns great handles, and the shale he uses fits so naturally in the hand. Definitely worth consideration.
They look very well made. The glow in the dark one is a bit of a gimmick (but I have seen far more unusual gimmick brushes than this one), but the others seem to be well balanced brushes visually and ergonomically. Looks like another up and coming craftsman.
If I can get a glow-in-the dark straight razor to go with that brush, I'll be ready to shave even IF we have another power outage early in the morning…
I would not buy a glow handle because i will not shaved in the dark The Silvertip Handturned Resin Shaving Brush looks good.
He also has a pretty neat looking water filled brush. I just wish he offered more knot options instead of just the 22mm silvertip
