What is a good long handled shave brush?

[Timeclo]

Also, Heritage collection shaving has some great replicas coming out for longer handles like Merit. Here's one example on the right.

I’ve got this one, but I had to make it myself. Horsehair knot.

For scale, here it is with a standard size brush turned by a friend:

I got a long handled brush from Rudy Vey recently. It's a hefty handle but it gives me good grip and weight to work with.

I really love his faux ivory handles. I've heard that you can even see the "grain" much like with real ivory. Enjoy that brush. It's beautiful.

I think he has couple different variations of the faux ivory. Mine is pretty smooth without grains but I've seen couple with the natural-like grains. It is nice looking regardless.

West Coast Shaving Infinity handles are pretty long. Their website shows many / most out of stock, but maybe they'll get more in.

Been trying to find one of those forever. I can take out a mortgage and get a reconditioned one, but really can't afford that. I'm waiting on my Razorock 400, arriving tomorrow or Friday.

Gee, you want it affordable, too? Picky, picky, picky!

Thank you Rudy Vey!

I will be using the new brush when we start Winter Quarter at Bates Barber College on 2 January 2020. The diminutive Marvey shave brush will be given away to another barber student.

Just got a timberwolf, red swirl barberstyle from Maggards Black Friday sale.

Love it. Knot is fine, quality is superb, but the shape is what counts. Fingers go over and stop; very comfortable and effective.
