Nice! It reminds me of that scene during LOTR where Smaug gets covered in gold, haha.

It took me a while to assemble this but here it is! Rudy Vey Custom brush with SHD knot. I call it the "Big Ivory," for a reason...

Great looking RV brush!
Wow, I love it. I don't usually go for simple white/Ivory handles, but that's pretty stunning.
It sure is. Nice and simple.
I was contemplating between a complex color and simple Ivory but thought I would keep it basic. It turned out well and I'm glad I kept it Ivory. Although it's quite a workout with how heavy it is, haha. I've had my moments with big handles but I think I'll slowly head towards the lighter path.
First brush from WildWestBrushWorks!
The Butterscotch
Knotted with 26mm Maggard Plissoft. It looks and feels great so far. I'll be happy to lather with it.

That is one beautiful brush and I have been very much wanting to get a 30mm cashmere because I love my 24mm. If it is not too much trouble could you please take some pictures of this brush beside a badger brush maybe 26mm or 28mm so I can tell if it might be bigger than I like. I would greatly appreciate it.
Happy shaves

That looks fantastic! I love Derek's handles.
Couple handles I got recently, Oz Shaving and Wild West Brushworks (I was really going for color):
Nice! Those colors looks pretty wild! What knots are you planning to set in those?
Not totally sure yet, but I might put a blonde boar or a TGN best badger in the Oz handle. The WWB I might go with a silvertip or 2-band, either TGN or Maggard. Recommendations?
Saponificio Varesino with Faux Horn
Whoa. It's like something a Roman emperor would use.
The knot is different from what I've seen so far, it's set pretty deep in the handle so the stability is given by the inner walls of the pewter part, however it does work great that way. The tips are soft and also gelling a big and the density is just right to release the lather easily. Can only recommend it. It's a bigger brush than most however.
I've never knotted a boar so I don't know any good boar sources. But I know Maggard's has great knots for sure so I'd probably go with them. Their regular 2-band is known to be great as well as their SHD types.
