Default EBay silvertip from PC Woodcraft & Pens

Decided to add a new brush to the shave den:


Silvertip brush with Kingswood handle, CA finish.

Silvertip bristles have a pretty good backbone to them (not in need of my Bristle Enhancer). I had thought them to be a bit scritchy at first, but they are getting softer with use (only about a week so far).

Where this brush really shines, in my opinion, is the shape of the handle. This is no nubby little Persian jar, no sir. Thisis at least a Grecian urn of a handle.

What's a Grecian urn?


...about 40 Drachma a day! Badda Bang!! I gotta million of 'em folks!

OK, sorry about the bad joke






Back on topic- the bulb portion fits firmly in the palm of your hand, and allows the fingers to easily wrap around the neck of the handle.

The wood and finish are excellent. Nice grain and glassy smooth CA finish.

For $69 I am quite pleased with my purchase.

Yep, they are to "slick" to keep a hold of 'em".
