The M7 handle gives great control when loading and lathering. I love seeing the various ideas expressed in it-nice brush.

so got my new brush in the mail today and couldn't wait to get home to try the puppy out. I get home crack open the box and proceed with my nightly shave ritual. I fill my shave mug up and drop my new RV brush in it to soak while i hop in the shower. I load my merkur 180 with a fresh feather blade and proceed with my usual uberlather, tonight it was MWF + TOBS coconut shave cream+ glycerin. I usually rub on some proraso white pre shave, but in the hurry i was to get to the lather making, i forgot. I then proceed to give my customary 2 shakes to get off excess water and go to town. Man i got to say this brush soaks and holds a lot more water than my best badger EJ brush that im used to, which i didnt notice till i started whipping up my lather. By the time i noticed my lather was already extra bubbly and watered down. But at this point i really wanted to see how the brush felt against my face, and again in my excitement i decided to just take the brush and lather to my face. However by the time i realize it, my face is already burning with razor burn. So my common sense finally caught up with me, and i decided to just start over with my lather and was more aware and gave the brush a few extra shakes to get my lather to a good consistency.

Well lesson of the night is, slow down, even though your excited about a new toy your AD has brought home. Oh well, nothing a little captains choice bay rum and nancy boy facial moisturizer couldnt fix.

Anyhow here are some pics of the brush in all its blooming glory. Also a pic of my initials rudy engraved for me on the bottom of the handle, actually is really nice since i hang dry it in a stand.

Whenever I look at RV's brushes, my eyes are forever drawn to the outstanding handles and not the loft.
Amazing handicraft and creativity!

Beautiful brush. The handle is stunning and the initials really make it great. Enjoy!

That is a very nice Brush.
I had Rudy do a restore for me many moons ago and he did a great job, one day I will get a custom from him and it may look similar to yours.
