What's new

Did Savile Row stop engraving brushes?

I recently saw a SR3824 that was screen printed and not engraved. After an inquiry, I was told it was purchased used in December.

Have they gone away from the engraving? Are they no longer turned at Shavemac by Bernd?

If they switched, that is a real shame.

That looks like the old version with the higher loft to me. Hair looks very white as well. I haven't owned a Savile Row brush in many years, but the ones I did we all printed. Not sure it was ever officially confirmed that these brushes were made by Shavemac.

RV confirmed it publicly in a post...that's good enough for me. Also, all the SR brushes I have seen were engraved.

Well, your best bet would be to just ask Charles at QED. However, I assure you that the older brushes had printed lettering. This is a pic from 2010 of one of my SR brushes, and you can see the lettering coming off (and it only got worse).
