@PLANofMAN - I suppose it is. Check this out.

Via instagram or just buy mine....What's the best way to contact Vincent about a handle order?
Away on holiday to Florida for two weeks leaving at the weekend. If it's still available when I get back I will give it some serious considerationVia instagram or just buy mine....
Wow Martin, the bloom on that knot is amazing! I'm definitely going to have to look into those!
Some time ago I posted about a new, upcoming line of stainless steel handles launching soon but it seems that thread became a victim during the recent forum s/w switch.
I had the idea to make a 'companion brush handle' to my Wolfman razor as I really like the WRH7 handle.
I contacted James at Wolfman and asked him if it would be ok to create a brush handle giving homage to his design and he gladly allowed it.
So, I contacted Vincent (@Duvivier7) and he accepted the challenge with quite some enthusiasm!
A few days later the handle was ready...and this weekend I received it in the mail
Vincent even matched the brushed/satin look of the WRH7 - and all from just photos.
This one is machined to 25.5mm and 15mm depth to accommodate a 24 mm knot.
Due to the somewhat challenging design I gave Vincent it was hard to hollow out more and ended up weighing about 110gr. It's a very sturdy handle indeed and it goes really well with the heft of the Wolfman
(James has seen the finished handle and really liked it )
Coming up Vincent will setup shop on Etsy and his own designs will run $35.
Custom designs - including a potential Rubberset 400 homage handle - will have different prices.
I'm super excited about my handle and have to say Vincent is not only a real artist but also a really nice guy to deal with!

And, here it is next to the Wolfman.
I love it!
Coming up next:
Now I have to decide on knot.....but I'll be sure to post photos of the finished, knotted brush
I know there was some talks about a bulk order from him...maybe even a numbered, special TSR order (and a unique design of our own in SS or aluminum) and after seeing this handle I'd buy one of those for sure!
