A Tulip for my brother

[shaverjoe]

My brother had purchased a 26mm TGN Grade A Silvertip knot a long time ago but couldn't decide on a handle profile or handle material. He finally decided on a Simpson Tulip style handle in faux ivory. I really didn't nail the handle profile exactly, but I got close. It really doesn't matter- he's my brother. He has to love me and use any brush I make, regardless of its quality

Knot: TGN Grade A Silvertip
Loft: 48mm
Hanlde length: 50mm
Material: Faux Ivory Acrylic

Yes, make him suffer by using that brush! Oh the agony of it all!


Seriously though, that is excellent brush!
That is a really nice faux ivory. The light soft swirl patterns really make it look better than many of the others I have seen!
Well done!

Oh, poor guy!
I like the profile, gives it a sorta chubby tulip look. Great job as always Joe!

Nice job! Looks great. I tried to get my brother to see the light of wet shaving. He looks at me with a bemused sort of "smile and wave" kind of thing. Too bad... his loss.

Well done!
My brother got me a puck of Williams for Christmas

Your right, it's not exactly like the tulip. What a waste of material, have your brother send the brush to me to dispose of properly.

Honestly, I like that handle better than a tulip.

Was it vintage Williams?

Was it vintage Williams?

Al Walmart, most likely not

Your brother should be ashamed. I mean, what did you do to deserve that

Vintage Williams is hard to beat. Modern Williams is......less than desirable.
