MÜHLE STYLO, Grenadille (African Blackwood) Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush

Description: I have too much gear, so I'm putting this very cool brush on the block. This is Muhle's African Blackwood handled shaving brush, with their top-end silvertip badger hair knot. It's a few years old, but absolutely clean and sterile. Note that there's one small dent in the neck where the brushhead screws into the body. It doesn't compromise functionality whatsoever, and it's not visible when the brush is assembled. There's also signs of wear on the bottom of the base where the brush was sitting on the counter. I've tried to highlight all of this in the photos. (The wear looks worse in the photo than actual.) Ships in original retail packaging with labels. This item is no longer available, but retailed for $200+ when it was. So this sale price is a good deal. I included the retail photo last, so you can see the how it was displayed in the catalog. This brush is a luxury shave experience at its finest! From Muhle: Ring size M: 21 mm to unscrewHandles made of grenadilla with chrome-plated metal highlights The Material - African Blackwood Grenadilla or African Blackwood has been used in Europe for 500 years, initially to manufacture musical instruments. It is one of the hardest woods worldwide and displays a particularly beautiful, dark brown to black grain. The high density and hardness of this natural material predestines it as a wet shaving accessory: The wood is turned, oiled and polished to a mirror finish. The result is a shimmering, highly water-resistant surface which further accentuates the grain. An attractive contrast to this is formed by the edging with gleaming chrome sections. , We use only African Blackwood from certified, sustainable plantations. Without chrome the world would forfeit a lot of its lustre. In the finish used for our wet shaving accessories it demonstrates its best qualities: The material is corrosion-resistant, very long-lasting and has a luxurious, alluring lustre. When contrasted with this, the colours and shapes of other premium materials are shown to their very best advantage.The Brushhead - Silvertip badger Among connoisseurs, silvertip badger is regarded as the piece de resistance: Only the best, carefully selected badger hair is used for these purely handcrafted shaving brushes. The precious natural material is particularly soft and flexible. The fine, conically tapering hairs possess the ability to retain a large amount of water and produce a dense, creamy lather. Another sign of quality is the even black band running horizontally through the predominantly silvery gleaming hair. This premium product is manufactured using historical tools in an artisan procedure mastered by only a few specialists worldwide. The semi-circular shape of the brush head is created by hand when binding the brush. The fine tips therefore do not require trimming and the natural softness of the hair is retained.Measures Dimensions: 36 mm x 110 mm Weight: 134 g
