Ohh!!! Mamma mia!! good they must be.

Gian66 - I think there will be some going to Slovenia soon. Can you have alcohol splashes forwarded to you in Italy from your Delaware address?

Rudy Vey

Rudy Vey hand-turned brush with a 24mm Shavemac Fan. Probably my 10th brush or so from Rudy, always great.

I love Shavemac knots, not chemically treated or gelled more or less natural. Lots of backbone, never scritchy and good at releasing lather.

FYI - you would pay double this price with a lesser knot from many other brush makers.

Dave, really curious about the scent of Vétivert. My preference is green as opposed to smokey. Frank describes this as a sophisticated green cologne, but I'm wondering how prominent is the smokey Haitian Vetiver EO.

Each nose is different but I get mostly a Fresh Green scent. It's VERY nice but wanted a little smokiness which the TF Grey Vetiver added. I'm not saying the Vétivert should be made more smokey. It stands on it's own and is great in my book as a green Vetiver than many love. I just like smokey too. Hope that helped some as I'm not the best on scent descriptions. Also, while it was lightly scented on sniffing the tub, it really opened up on lathering to a nice scent strength for me.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear, Dave. Thank you so much. Smile
