My new brush - From a new German Brush Maker

[vocalistbob]

There is a new German brushmaker on the scene called Wiborg Shaving (wiborgshavingbrushes.com). Every picture on their site is of a specific brush - you click on the picture of the brush you want to buy. They have a limited inventory, but offer Boar, Pure, Silvertip, 2-Band and Manchurian knots.

The knots look very dense and well-shaped, but of course, they are only pictures. Here is the picture/description of the brush I bought (it should arrive here next week):

I may just be a sucker for a pretty face, but it sure looks like a very well-made brush. I admit that I don't like the oversize, over-elaborate script logo on the handle or the "Coat of Arms" insignia on the base of the handle, but the picture of the knot and the reasonable price convinced me to take a gamble on this newcomer.

How new is this company? They emailed me my order confirmation - my order number was "4".

Nice, I kinda dig the script and logo. Noticed the smaller brushes don't have the same bottom - just the coat...

I like them... can't wait to heara review

I really like the ones in 2 band that look like lemon drops. Those look really nice, write up a review once you receive yours.

This could be a great alternative to a Chubby 2, please post your impressions!

Looks great, I'm curious about how they perform.

Thanks for posting! I just ordered the 30mm Knot 50 Loft 2 band! Looks great, shame I won't see it until I get back from a 2 1/2 week trip. Looking forward to hearing your results while I patiently wait.

Just checked my order confirmation. I'm lucky number 7!

I was thinking it looked like a Chubby, but with a less traditional handle. I love the 2-band colors. We need a review post!

I wonder how their Manchurian stacks up against other brands? It's quite cheap in comparison.

I was wondering the same thing.

Wow I am loving the shape of those knots. I'll agree I am not as crazy about the script and graphics, but I guess you'll never forget where you bought it!

 

[Carilliterate]

Maybe your the 4th order this year haha.

A competing US vendor linked to them on their Facebook page which I thought was a pretty generous thing to do. I ordered one of the 3-band Silvertips and will post a review when it arrives. The knot has a German style bulb shape and the 2-bands appear to come in both bulb & a modified fan shape as well. While I'm not in the market for one, I noticed that they have FaTip razors for sale as well. It's appears that they sell brushes but I didn't see any indication that they made them.

I believe they make the handles... Not the knot. It is a tiny business operation. They do not need to charge sales tax/VAT.

I just received shipping confirmation for the new Wiborg Shaving Company brush I ordered. It's 2-band Finest in Faux Ivory with 27mm knot and 51mm loft. Here are a couple of pictures:
