Handmade shavibg brush handles

Dear friends, a brief note to let you know that our new shaving website is going to feature a picture showcase dedicated to custom made shaving brushes. This is not a contest, we don't plan to test the brushes or anything like that, rather just to show them in our website. A maximum of five brushes per artist will be showcased. Participation is welcome and, of course, completely free. Artists are to provide us with pictures of their work (.jpg) and a written description of the individual brushes. We will post contact information for all participants. Please check out our website at

Giovanni ... check your links! Both gallery links are dead and the "Articles" link is a mailto: link.

An altogether bumpy ride. I'd be interested in your topic but, it looks like you announced the site before it was ready for guests. I was half-hoping to find links to (reasonably priced) brush plug suppliers.

(To all those who may have taken a look at MY site last week and faced a horrible download time for the graphics ... I think I've got all

2,000,000 pictures tamed now ... the biggest is 800x600 and most are only 320x240.) There aren't quite 2 million pix but that is how big the task looked like when I started fixing them. And EACH of the catalog entries had to be uploaded again. Still mostly kit stuff with some bowls.)

Giovanni & Bill...

Nice sites. Keep it up and the bugs will work themselves out.

Uh Bill... but where are the canes? [Oh My!!] ;)

Well, I wish I had this problem across the board, but I only had two and they sold (for more than I was asking!) before I could get that far with the site. ;-)

I'll make a note to drop all the unused categories this evening. It was easier to create them all at once while I had them in mind but it's been a mad scramble to get stuff finished. Sales off the site are dead but the FtF custom orders keep trickling in.

Selling is good! I'm sure more things will. Everything looks good! I was curious about the style of your canes. I've been toying with the idea of making some and occasionally try to surf cane pictures. Even if they have sold, you might want to leave a photo or two up to show what you can do, especially if you make more. ;)

One of them (local owner) should be coming back this week to get its brass re-buffed. I'll try to sneak in a photo session.

Thanks for the compliments. I try to sell only what I would be willing to buy for roughly the price I would think fair as a purchaser. Not living in a third-world country, sometimes it's difficult meeting both a quality and a price sales point. I don't pay a third-world mortgage and I can't buy my bread for 2 cents a loaf, either. But, if I have to sacrifice one to get the other, I keep the quality.

Interesting site Giovanni, but it would appear that another site mentioned on yours:

has a lot more information on it (and a lot more activity). I'd check them out for custom brushes. Pablo.
