Brush Drop Thread

A little something new for this week's handle drop! I will be releasing 2 new handle styles:

USA Resin: I saw what a pen blank maker in Arizona was doing and I was in love with this semi translucent style. I thought it’d translate into shaving brushes quite well. He agreed to make new blank sizes for me (he even had to make new molds since they’re so much bigger than the pen ones). The results speak for themselves I think. 

Germany Resin: Love how these turned out as-well. A "snake-skin" style resin featuring an exclusive coin of a wet-shavers rendition on the classic "snake & sword". The original snake & sword has meaning of rebirth, healing, and rejuvenation. Something I think we could all use after how the pandemics impacted everyone.

As always, drops are on 5pm Eastern Time on Sunday. Easiest way to get reminders is to sign up for the newsletter on my site! Thanks for looking!

Wow, I'm loving the snakeskin pattern... Very nice!

Something new for this week's handle drop! I will be releasing acrylic styles:

Italian Resin: This acrylic is derived from an acrylic sheet maker from Italy who has been in the business for over 60 years. What's unique about this company is that the acrylic has inspiration from mother nature. Each acrylic has incredible depth to it that's nearly impossible to capture on camera, a true work of art. Available in Night Sky, Diamonds in the Rough, and Ocean Waves.

There is also a few new handle shapes featured too:

Rocket Engine Shape: Inspired by the shape of a rocket engine, this one is designed with ergonomics in mind, but definitely looks to stand out.

"Bowl Buddy": It is designed with a slot to catch on the lip of thinner, shorter bowls (will not work on thicker / longer bowls). Bigger Bowl? While it might not work with that, it also doubles as slot where you can hang the brush on your stand!

More new & unique handles for this week's handle drop! I will be releasing 2 new handle styles:

M3 Mokume Metal Handles: In the 17th century the Japanese created wood grain patterns in metal by fusing gold, silver and other metals to make adornments for Samurai Swords. Adornments which served no other purpose than to add beauty and make the swords more desirable. They called this “Mokume Gane” which literally translates to “Wood Grain Metal”.

M3 Mokume is the 21st century interpretation of this ancient art. Instead of fusing and twisting hot metal, M3 uses advanced composite technology developed in America’s finest colleges and universities, to create twisted layers of atomized metals (and other elements) which have been reconstructed using chemistry instead of heat.

Japanese Ebonite: This ebonite is awesome as it's all been customized with a wide variety of colours. In comparison to German ebonite where only 1 or 2 colours can be infused, these custom ebonite rods from Japan have up to 5 colours in them!
Mars Ebonite: BEIGE/RED/GREY/BLACK
Beach Ebonite: BLUE/DEEPGREEN/BEIGE/BLACK
Joker Ebonite: PURPLE/GREEN/BLUE/GREY/BLACK
