BSB Shaving Brushes - Introducing my project

We are progressing in some complementary things. Old School, you know.

Friends, I want to briefly announce that who wants a BSB with the synthetic knot that everyone wants, the Muhle Silvertip Fibre XL 25 mm in diameter, will be able to have it. Manufactured by Muhle in Germany. You can easily watch the video on the internet. I speak not of a knot with fibers such as Muhle, I speak of Muhle. I try to get the best for the BSB, and for you.
 
Hello. Just mention that there are a few, very few units in titanium. Beautiful with this intriguing color they have. I'll post photos when I can. If anyone is interested, please send me email. These brushes are special, my friends. Thanks a lot for your support.
 
Friends, good afternoon, let me explain about the knots and the museums.

Not all of this was planned. The plans were knots from a Chinese supplier. Good knots, with good quality, that is possible. Was not going through my head any more than that. But circumstances, problems, delays, bad times, were the key. The Vie-Long knots were unplanned. They were a solution to my problem. One solution I can never thank them enough. Thank You, Vie-Long. The Vie-Long museum, humble, exists. I've been there. Of course it's going to be a BSB brush in it if they want.

Synthetic knots, also was not planned. Some friends were asking me, so I start looking for the knot that everyone wants. The Muhle Silvertip Fibre. It took a while, but it was possible, thanks to the kindness of Mr. Christian Mueller, when he knew for what brush were intended his knots. He told me he can not wait to receive one unit to place in the Muhle Museum. I am honored that a company with its history consider my humble brush this way. No doubt the first brushes, specifically this from my friend Robert Warwick have helped. When I saw it, I thought that I had to have this knot to be able to offer it to some friends who prefer synthetics. The museum was not planned. It simply happened.

What certainly was planned for months, was to inform of my plans to the company that is the current owner of the trade mark of the original antique brush. Possible patents that may have existed, if they existed, it is clear that are expired, but given the uniqueness of this brush, and how close is my homage to the original and characteristic design of the brush, I did consider it was necessary and polite , to humbly inform and ask permission to proceed with my project. Recently I received approval, provided I do not use the brand name, because it is trademarked, but I can use the number 400, and the surprise was that I was told that they would be honored and they would love to add one unit to his museum in Crisfield, Maryland. I had no idea that this museum existed, another thing that has happened without planning.

So that, one brush as yours is going to be in each of these three museums, sharing showcase with others brushes and beautiful shaving items. I am honored to be able to place there a humble brush crafted in Spain. And I think you will like that.

Thank you friends. For your support. For your confidence. For your patience. And thanks to all who have helped me in adversity and have rescued me at times of despair, when I thought about canceling the project and refunding you all the money. Good people.

I just need a little more patience, this will take a few weeks more to get the knots set. And I hope that they be good and meet up to your expectations.
 
Shaving's forecast. This spring there will be mature men, some with gray hair, and others who no longer comb anything, who will cry like kids at Christmas. This will be a worldwide plague. There will be nothing to stop it. They will cry during some days, but some of them, maybe during some weeks. Blessed tears of joy. No more words are needed, you understand me.


Friends, I need a few more days. Received today Vie-Long knots. They are wonderful, top, second to none. Better than the sample. very beautiful, indeed. This labor is still very long. Incidentally, during the wait, there has been time to mature an idea for months. There will be another brush in aluminum, if there is interest in it. It will not be a long brush barber. More conventional will be. But it will be beautiful and functional. Only will come to light when I like it. If not, it will not be born. There is already a proto, but I have to tweak a few things. In BSB there will not be any brush that I do not like personally. Sorry for those who do not share tastes, but I do not do this for business, but by passion and enjoy the journey, you know. Thanks for everything, because it is not being easy. You are wonderful people. Your patience is admirable. But it is approaching the day. I hope not to disappoint. I'm a little worried about it.
 
Another thing. This week I had correspondence with Christian Mueller. When he received his brush, the day April 1, with his synthetic knot, said it was "wonderful, a piece of art" and that he would find a good spot in the Muhle museum, and sending some pics. This week, on Tuesday, he sent a couple of pics, and said "here are some pics of the brush which is now part of our small museum". It is placed in a glass case with other brushes. I asked for permission to share, and he told me that of course, go ahead.

As it happened the death of Mr. Miquel Ricou, I had no desire nor have I considered putting the photos was adequate, so will post when I have the time.

This weekend I'll be working on your brushes, so I will not be very connected.

Oh boy, it looks like the Good Doctor is 'clearing his throat' before going into full Snake Oil speed.

From what I can figure , using this BSB brush will be a magnificent, almost spiritual experience. Not, not almost.......exactly!

Should be fun to see what the next posts will be,

Enjoy!
 
This post is to give thanks to Mr Christian Mueller, at MÜHLE Rasurkultur, Germany, and to my very good friend Oscar Julian, at Vie-Long, Spain, for his help and his confidence in my personal project. Without that, would not be possible this beautiful brush. Hope my humble handle be worthy of his excellent knots.
Also I want to give thanks to the US company who is the owner of the former brand of the original brush, who were so kind to give permission to proceed, and encourage me to send one unit to his museum in Crisfield, Maryland. Tomorrow I will ship one unit.
