Offering A Service RV Shaving - Brushes by Rudy Vey

I guess most of you know me from other fora (B&B, DFS etc) now I am also here.
Started making brushes in summer of 2008 and be active on the diverse fora since 2009. I have a website, but not for selling my stuff, it was set up in 2009 and I really would need to do some updates on the pictures, maybe soon.
I leaned quickly that it is better for me to make custom brushes. Making a brush and putting it up somewhere for sale did not work for me. This decision I made 2010 and since then I have made a lot of brushes, including several LE editions and group buys for B&B.
Here is how I work: you contact me, pm, text or best with email to
ultimatependesigns@comcast.net
We then discuss what you like and I make the brush for you. I work with resins, wood (preferably resin stabilized - although good stuff seems to be really hard to find these days) and other materials. I do not cast any fancy blanks, but I do cast quite a bit of my own blanks, mainly in single colors. I also make brushes that - like ivory color and butterscotch.
I do not tie my own knots. The knots I use are either badger knots from Shavemac - I normally have most sizes in their two-band silvertip, both fan and bulbs, on hand, some selected sizes of the D01 versions and some three band silvertips. For synthetics I use exclusively Muehle STF knots. I also offer Semogue Mistura and boar knots in my brushes.
So, if you have any questions, let me know.

Welcome to the artisan showcase, Rudy!!
 
This is great! Glad to have you here as well as B&B. I have one RV brush (so far) and it’s definitely a favorite top tier badger. I got this brush for when I go a couple days without shaving because it’s got some nice scruff power to it (what I wanted). I shave almost daily so it doesn’t get as much use as it should so I need to get something similar in a synthetic for my daily shaves…reaching out today in celebration of your posting on ShaveChat 👍
Here’s my RV:
