5 out of 5 starsBoth of the handles I have bought have a good sense of design and color. His hole depths are perfect, at 19-20mm. I have finished the second brush (I glue the knots myself). 2-Band Finest Badger is one of the absolute best brushes, in terms of loading, retention, and letting loose of lather. They work well with almost any shaving soap, and are not too difficult to maintain.
I would recommend Valdimir's handles, or entire brushes, to anyone.

5 out of 5 starsThis maker is not only talented, but he is honest, and, further, extremely helpful.
He is transparent about dimensions, so that you as a buyer can make decisions about assembly. He freely gave me advice on the best gluing technique. Not every maker will do this. How deep you seat your knot will determine the effective knot density and release of lather. It turned out perfect because I chose the 2-band finest badger, which was still soft enough after I left the depth alone. As a result, I was able to find that sough-after territory of true collaboration that results in a great finished product. I only wish that more makers were like Vladimir. The handle is beautiful, evoking for me wisps of tobacco smoke.
About
Turning a dreaded chore into luxurious self care
Ever since I started shaving over 30 years ago I have dreaded the ritual. It always felt like a chore. Cartridge razors were all the rage back then and that's what I used. I tried electric and that was even worse. For 30 years I dreaded shaving and grew beards as often as I could to avoid the whole process.
Then I discovered classic wet shaving using a brush and good shaving soap instead of canned goo offered by the mass market. Once I tried wet shaving using a good quality shaving brush, good shaving soap and an old school double edge safety razor (originally designed by Gillette in 1904) there was no going back to the old way of shaving for me.
So drastic was the change that I began to draw my friends and family into it. I began to experiment with vintage brush and razor restoration and got excellent results. I have been doing that ever since, constantly improving my techniques and knowledge.
Finally I decided to open an Etsy store to share my passion for classical wet shaving and to bring it to more people. I have tried many different brushes and always thought I could improve on some aspect of them. It usually was the materials, ergonomics, cost or combination of those and other factors that didn't sit right with me. I thought I could improve on one or more of these aspects. I also enjoyed restoring old brushes and razors. Recuperating some landfill space always seemed like a good idea. This is how this store was born.
I hope you enjoy browsing and shopping here. I will try to keep it well stocked with top notch shaving goodies.
