Elite Razor - Custom and Unique Razors and Brushes

I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving and are gearing up for a wonderful Christmas.  Between working on several new projects, I've just completed a couple of new brushes that have been in progress for several weeks.

Please check out the brush selection on my site at www.eliterazor.com.  I've reduced the price on quite a few of the pieces that have been on my shelf for a while.

These stone brushes came out of the shop yesterday and have just been listed on my site at www.eliterazor.com.  Like my children, it's hard to decide which I like best.

Larimar (26mm)

Larimar is distinctive gem that is found exclusively within a small inaccessible mountainous region of the Dominican Republic. It is a variety of Pectolite, an acid silicate hydrate of calcium and sodium, not a very uncommon mineral in all parts of the world. However, Larimar demands attention by gemologists because of its brilliant volcanic blue coloration.  The discovery of Larimar, also known as the Dolphin or Atlantis stone, is quite phenomenal. The blue coloration that is rarely found in gems, combined with its occurrence only in a small inaccessible island makes it rarer.  Today, Larimar is regarded as a treasure to possess and this is solely attributed to the wonderful brilliance of the stone and its effect on humans.


Wild Horse Jasper (26mm)

Wild Horse Jasper is associated with the birthstone month of January.  Wild Horse Jasper is named for the location where it is mined, at the Wild Horse Canyon in Oregon. It belongs to the family of quartz. The name is Greek in origin, meaning “spotted or speckled stone” and Jasper was a favorite gemstone of ancient times and can be traced back to Greek, Hebrew, Persian, Latin, and Assyrian literature.  In mythology, Jasper is said to have powers to keep evil and fatal insect or reptile bites at bay.  This particularly handsome Wild Horse Jasper stone is prized for its' crimson and jet-black veins.


Tourmaline Laced Quartz (26mm)

Tourmaline Laced Quartz may be found in mountainous areas throughout the United States, but predominately in the northern Sierra Nevada area.   Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust, after Feldspar.  Quartz can appear in many colors from bright purple to milky white to absolutely clear.  Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder, believed Quartz to be water ice, permanently frozen after great lengths of time. (The word "crystal" comes from the Greek word for purity.)  He supported this idea by saying that Quartz is found near glaciers in the Alps, but not on volcanic mountains.

That is a spectacular looking brush. Very unique.

Sometime ago, Bob created a bespoke interpretation of the Kenzo B895 for me.  It has one of his Elite Manchurian knots.

For comfort in hand and knot performance, this is one of my favorite brushes.  Bob creates in a masterful manner.

Every year I build a "Christmas Brush", but this year I built two.  These will be the last new additions before the holiday.

The first reminds me of the beach, where I would prefer to be spending Christmas and the second has more of a traditional Christmas feel.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

Ivory over Blue, Green and Orange (26mm)


Red and Silver over Gold Flakes (26mm)

Amboyna Burl (26mm)   The figure on this piece is amazing.

There are also many other beautiful pieces available, such as this extraordinary Honduran Rosewood burl brush.
