First Custom Brush

[GladiusGSF]

I received my first custom brush today. I ordered it from Bob Farvour, a custom brush maker in KY, and I can not say enough good things about it. As a married father of four working as an electrician, there is not much money out there to throw around. I do treat myself now and again but don't go too crazy with it. I used the brush for the first time tonight and I must say it is the best bang for the buck of ANY product I have used since I started "wet shaving" when I was still a teenager. I've used a brush and mug since my teens. I wanted to be like my dad...sue me. In the last year I have gotten into the DE razor aspect of it and turned on to a whole new world of stuff. To think "custom brush" I was imagining super high prices...not so with Bob. You get WAY more than what you pay for. Thanks Bob!!! Great brush sir...great brush indeed. Here it is...my Wee Rover...I'm a small brush guy

Very nice. I own 3 brushes from Bob myself. He does great work.

Very nice. What's the knot? An 18mm TGN Grade A?

 

[GladiusGSF]

It's the 16MM Best...I like the scritchy stuff...lol

I love it. When I ordered a brush from Bob recently (which is beautiful by the way), I asked about the wee rover. He said that he might have some more or similar soon - I can't wait.

Nice. 16mm in that handle would be a fun brush to use. Looks like about a 39-40mm loft? Sounds great.

Thats a great looking brush.

Congrats on a fine brush.
Raising a family is far more valuable than a brush. Glad that you're able to have both!

Very nice! Great choice on Best badger!

 

[celestino]

I like the handle a lot, it's different with those stripes.

 

[Krona Kruiser]

Great work from Bob! I'm sure it's a pleasure to use.

Thats a sweet little brush. I like the ivory on the rover, the subtle pattern really spices up the handle.

Bob does excellent work! Jim, enjoy that "luxury" item, because they are just that and they are worth every penny invested.

He has a thread in the Vendor/Hobbyist section here.

Beautiful brush! I too have a Wee Rover, however it's slightly different than yours. The top "rib" doesn't stick out on mine and it's got a Finest 2 band knot.

Amazing brush! Bob does fantastic work!

Awesome brush! I really like the look of the rover. I see a Bob Farvour brush in my future.
