Thank you Jim. I have two @Rudy Vey Bog Oak handles, one with a Shavemac 24mm 2-Band Silvertip Fan and this one with a Mühle 25mm STF. Both are beautiful brushes.Nice looking bog oak, Dave.
Happy shaves,
Jim
You inspired me to use the @Rudy Vey Irish Bog Oak brush with the Shavemac 24mm 2-Band Silvertip Fan last night.I'll keep an eye out for the other one.
Happy shaves,
Jim

BOSC SCIENCE can be a cruel mistress - kind of like Big Nurse.It looks great, too, Dave.

I had an IBO brush. In the photo you can see a crack in the wood. Rudy and I were unable to determine why my brush cracked. Rudy of course replaced the brush but I decided against another IBO.
I do have another brush, from the BST I think, with that handle shape.
I'm thinking of using the pictured iKon Tech some. Looking around the office I found both my brand new and never used Tech and the head of the Tech pictured above. I'll take the head home and find a handle. Not a one trial learner. You and I discussed it before - way back - and both get what a beast the Tech can be.
Even Big Nurse thinks I'm crazy for thinking that way, and, for once, I agree, but, well, you know, science!
Happy shaves,
Jim

Pinaud Clubman Lilac Vegetal rocks! It's good to be Chosen!
Applied Belcam Clash EdT Spray before heading out. Excellent scent!
A superb, and very pleasurable, top tier shave!
PM sent.David,
If you'd be so kind, could you give me the dimensions and weight of that handle Doug made you? I'm trying to finalize one for my FBT. I don't know if I should go with the 14mm or the 14.3mm or if it would make all that much difference. I think I'll just match the weight and length of the OEM Fat handle, but I wanted your input.
