Madrone Burl 24mm Shaving Brush
I call this style brush either the “Mae West” or the “Jessica Rabbit.” Both a bit dated now, so maybe you can suggest another name? Either way, the handle design feels comfortable in the hand and is perfect setting for a larger (24mm) brush knot.
Madrone is native to the Pacific Northwest, but is rarely available commercially. Most trees come from landscaping jobs or the occasional lot clearing. The burl figured wood is even harder to come by as the burl is usually associated only with the root mass, meaning the entire tree has to be excavated or pulled up—quite a job.
As with all my brushes, the knots are badger hair made to my specifications and imported.
The handle is finished with cyanoacrylate, giving it good durability and water resistance.
