Ok, that intro sounds like the title of an old Artie Shaw recording, but I received my new Rudy Vey beehive in grade A silvertip today. I never saw a knot that looked so much like my Simpson Chubby 1 (before I began to use it). This beehive has the same colour and general density of the Simpson Chubby. The shipping paper indicates that this brush is Grade A silvertip. It looks dense, silver and perfectly packed to my eye.
The knot measures approx. 21 mm at the base with calipers, with an overall approximate height measurement (brush and handle) of 91 mm. Its a nice size handle. While I tend towards the largest handle I can afford, this size does not disappoint.
Excellent turning and finishing skills by Mr Vey. A very nicely made handle, uniform colour and consistancy to the handle material, excellent knot density, colour and feel. A very, very nice brush. I highly recommend Mr Vey. Also, a free stick of shave soap in the order!
