I'm Speechless.Another Bob Farvour Custom

[Krona Kruiser]

So I had an interesting concept for Bob. I've been intrigued with the shape of this Vie-Long: http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&h...w=154&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:75 However, I didn't like the knot available for these brushes and wanted a shoulder on the top of the handle similar to the one on my Tuilip. I also wanted a tortoise colored type color to the handle.
So I talked to Bob, who was very helpful and patient with my specifications. With his input and recommendation we settled on a "Cosmic Copper" color and decided on a 22mm TGN Finest XH set at about 48mm.
He emailed with a picture of the brush and I was speechless. It cam out way better than I ever imagined. I can't wait to get it but I know it's a winner. This guy's on fire.

I love the twisted look of the handle. Very cool color too!

 

[NexlevMM]

WOW!!
That handle is seriously incredible. It really does give the illusion of a tulip-esque handle on both ends, and that color is WILD!!
Congrats Sam!

Beautiful brush. I have the same knot set @48mm and love it for face lathering.

 

[taco8slo]

Wow, that brush is in fire too, very nice work the both of you, enjoy your new brush!

That material is really special. It looks like it could be wood. Beautiful work and concept.

 

[Manning]

That is definitely a fine looking brush. Really nice looking and and great material.

 

[Loganpass]

Gorgeous and unique as well! Congrats.

Yowsa! Somebody please tell me these TGN knots are good and dense. I have a number of ideas and the constant flow of customs is really helpful. I just don't know about their knot characteristics. Currently I have two pretty dense brushes. Savile Row 3824 and the B&B Kent LE 2009. Neither of these splay out much and hold a great shape.

Cheers, Todd

Phog, the Finest grade has plenty of backbone and feels luxuriously soft with texture. It's not as dense as Shavmacs or Simpsons but set at a low loft like at 46-48mm, it tightens up just enough, but it's not floppy. I have a custom brush with a 24mm TGN XH set at about 50-52mm to make as a bowl lathering brush and it's not floppy like other Silvertip knots. It's got just enough give. Give it a try.

That thing is awesome. You can't go wrong with the TGN finest.

Holy cow, Krona! That is a one of the most beautiful handles that i have ever seen!

Holy cow, Krona! That is a one of the most beautiful handles that i have ever seen!

Thanks. I've been thinking about the design for months. I might do a Farvour family in the Cosmic Copper color. Maybe one in his interpretation of the Milk Churn (in AA silvertip) and the other in a Rover style (TGN finest bulb).

hey Kona it looks amazing

once you get a TGN XH there's no turning back, you might have found a cure to your BAD (if you've ever suffered from it)

 

[Loric]

Great googly moogly... thats one fine looking brush.

 

[Danricgro]

That thing is beautiful! I think I would put that baby on my mantle with a spot light on it! Ok, I got a little carried away.

 

[life2short1971]

Reminds me of cinnamon candy sticks. That is a beautiful brush.

 

[brucered]
