New Jade tool

[Useless shaver]

This is my first 2-band, and this is my first non-ivory brush (I am an ivory addict) but I couldn't overlook it.
Not that the handle is the greatest or prettiest one, but.... SBAD is there, you know...

Excuse the crappy pics (crappy phone, crappy prhotographer...).

More or less:

Knot 30 mm
Loft 55 mm
Handle height 60 mm


Just got it and just palm lathered. Soft! Nice tool.

What do you think about? I'll let you guess the rest...

Looks good, Juan! Who is the maker?

Looks good, Juan! Who is the maker?

Thank you.

Strolling down a street near home, I saw it in a shop (they carry lots of shaving things, sadly expensive...). I went in and asked and it turned out it was made by a Spanish artisan.... Go figure (there aren't many artisans making brushes here, you know..). Couldn't resist and bought this one.

The thing is they have it with different handles in cobalt, nice orange, cocobolo wood, ivory... bulbs, fan, flat top.... It's going to be expensive....

Lovely handle.

Thanks, Michael.

Sweet looking brush? I would love to have a faux jade brush. The cobalt and orange sounds pretty cool too? Do you know if this artisan ship will ship to US?

I have the T&H with that color handle- I really love it.

Check out the Truefitt and Hill online shop- they have some lovely jade brushes.

Spacegoast, I finally found out the artisan/maker of the jade brush; here you have his website

Andrés is a pleasure to deal with, BTW.


And here you have a better pic from the brush with some of her sisters (I "stole" the pic from the artisan...hehehe)



Beautiful, actually...

Juan enjoys the brush, in fact is a very comfortable brush and hair is a delight
