Possible group buy: Canica brushes

[Vlad]

Gentlemen, a few have expressed interest in brushes made by Canica, a craftsman in Spain. Our friends active on the Spanish shaving forums are likely familiar with his work. Luis and I are exploring the possibility of a small unofficial group buy for what I'm calling the "Rocky"-- Google Translator tells me "canica" means "marble," and it kind of looks like a punchy little badass to me




Rather than a set run of one brush, it will probably be each person getting the material and knot they want. See my thread here to learn a little bit about this brush, and the pictures below. Please PM me if you are interested.

Let me know how much it will run. Have to run it by SWMBO.

Our preliminary number is $125, but I'm hoping for less.

Excellent looking brushes. Great idea, Vlad.

I like your review If its more dense than a Chubby... I think I might not have a choice but to be in on this one.

 

[BallisticBurrito]

As much as I would like one..$125 is a bit too rich for my blood, good luck though.

$125 is not bad at all depending on what type of knot was used, if it were a two band or silvertip i would buy.

Me, too!

I really like the White and clear striped one that you bought on the BST.

I just would rather prefer a 24-26mm knot with a maximum loft of 50mm.

Vlad--I'd be up for one, providing the price isn't too steep. And the material or our choice? Cool!

In Mexican Spanish, it is spelled G-A-N-I-G-A. I used to drink in a scruffy little local dive near Revolucion in Tijuana called the Ganiga Bar.

Hey, that's 3000 posts! Eagerly awaiting my complimentary B&B toaster!

Thank you Vlad for taking for your leadership on this unofficial group purchase.

Count me in.

In interested, I'm goiing to check out your link u posted....the initial specs I dont particularly like. 30x42? Yuck

 

[Paisley E]

I'm interested, but over $100 is too costly for me. How can I contact the maker of those fine handles. I'd be interested in purchasing one and adding one of the new synthetic knots.

The loft on my Finest Rocky is 50mm, not 42. But each one can select the loft they want.

Boy are they beautiful brushes, Vlad. What knots does he offer?

He can get any TGN knot, but we're proceeding on the assumption that guys will either want the 30mm Finest or Silvertip Grade A. Let's keep it simple for the moment, and then we'll see how complicated it gets.
