Keep an eye out. You might see one popping up around here sometime fairly soon.
Remember the credo from the Chief run: The ox is slow but the earth is patient.
Indeed, you planted the seed. Really didn't give the idea any serious thought at the time, but it stuck.
A recitation of the sequence of events that led to this would probably sound like a Direct TV commercial.
If you stumble into an Art of Shaving store in San Francisco and decide to try a tub of shaving cream, you might....
We can do that! Some faux jade rod was just delivered. We'll be cutting into it for our second Dark Holler Small Batch of shaving brush handles very soon.
Here are a couple shots of the first batch of Chief IIs and PK-47s.

Oh and if you need a tester I have 3-6 months off work to put the brushes to the test [emoji12] [emoji106]
Is there a waiting list for these? I missed the original Chief brush but I'd love to get my hands on a Chief II.
Those look so nice! I love the Faux Horn and the Faux ivory...my dad had a fur business and got some prebann ivory scrimshaw...those right at the front on the Chief II tray looked just like it, with their figuring. They are beautiful!
Beautiful handles Ken....absolutely Beautiful.
Like everyone, I can't wait to see them completed but this was a nice update to see them all lined up awaiting knots.
Thanks for the update.

Beautiful handles, simply amazing to look at. I can't wait to be on that 'line' that forms to get them into my den.
Marvelous work Ken. truly a labor of love being shown here. Thanks for sharing and really getting the excitement up.

Oh man. That photo is amazing. It's like seeing early photo shots of new Batman movies or Star Wars peaks. Too good!
Thanks for the update Ken.
I believe there really is only one thing left to say, Ken:
Extremely nice progress report. The sheer impact of the number of these is awesome - and of course the details on each!
I'm certain it's only me , but I get this odd déjà vu about Kens picture:
Am I losing it totally?
There's been vague mention of a group buy, but I can't find the thread for the life of me.
You are mistaken. Any group buy talk was light hearted and not serious, and no group buy exists.
It was addressed earlier in the thread by Ken and the original poster.

What types of hair and knot shapes will be available?
Ready, ready, ready!
Wow. Great work and very nice colour choices.
I would like to give one of those handles a swirl.

Beautiful handles, Ken. Put me down for one of the Chief's.
Beautiful work, Ken, and congratulations!
