Until I was turning this handle, I couldn't see that there was a small "bleed over" on one of the stripes as I was doing the pour.  As a result, this brush is available on my site at www.eliterazor.com for a reduced price.

The "bleed over" can be seen on the third picture.

This brush handle is a mixture of small pieces of various types of Tru-Stone into a resin base.  It has just been listed on my site at www.eliterazor.com.

Nicely done Bob Quinn.   That Tru-Stone brush is an eye-catcher, but I have to ask what is Tru-Stone please?

Thank you.  Tru-Stone is a material that is comprised of 95% natural stone that is pulverized and then combined with a bonding agent under pressure.  The resulting product has the weight, look and feel of natural stone, but is conducive to working on a lathe.  Two elements that make it a perfect material for use in wet shaving are that the bonding agent serves to eliminate any micro-fractures that are present in natural stone and can create a weak area, specifically when subjected to water and temperature changes.  Additionally, and unintended benefit is that when wet, it acquires a slightly tacky feel, making it very easy to maintain a solid grip.

Bob has to be the best handle artisan encountered and appreciate his skills across a wide selection of materials
