Group Buy: Olivewood Shaving Brush Handles

Must resist!

 

Clears throat loudly

 

If no one takes the last one in the next 30 minutes (6:05), I guess I will have to take it.

 

It is 6:05, so I'm in.

 

I put one in one of the handles I made. It is the brush on the right in my avatar. It is very nice.

Done! I will keep posting updates here until all brush handles have found their new homes.

 

So I have two brush handles coming.....I am thinking a WD High Mountain Badger knot and a WD Boar knot.
I have heard great things about the HMB knot but does anyone know about the WD Boar knots?

 

I rather like this video by ZenShaving that goes into the various knot options out there and calls out pro's and con's for them

 

I wish I would have seen this sooner , but I am in a self imposed No buy Sabbatical

 

I respect a man who keeps his word.

 

I believe I should do this also.

 

Good post.

 

I'm getting closer to it as far as razors goes....five more razors on my really-really want list and then I'm closing down the 2015-RAD

 

Good luck!!!

 

DO IT!!

 

There are some listed on the bay right now.

 

I got quotes back from a few different Silvertip Knot suppliers and for the most part the answer was "It cant get any lower than our current price..." BUT a couple of suppliers who have solid reviews were willing to work with me on bulk knot pricing. TSD mods allowed the handle group buy even though it fell outside of the standard TSD content so I will ask permission to start another thread and if they approve we can start gathering names.

As a fair warning it will probably require several more purchasers than were involved in the handle group buy just due to the higher price point of the knots and the additional shipping required. SO if approved we will open it to everyone who has a handle (or several) that require a new knot.
