Old World Craftsmanship

Beautifully crafted shave brush! Expertly executed, perfect size and shape so it's comfortable to use. Substantial weight which makes it feel like the high quality item it is. I love the fact that it's a chunk of wood from a tree that grew in Ireland 5,000 odd years ago. The knot is really great quality and holds a ton of water/lathers very well. For comparison, I have a Simpson's Berkeley shave brush and this brush performs better.

Ordered this item and I am thrilled with how well made it is and how gorgeous the wood is. I will definitely shop for other items from this talented craftsman.

Beautiful piece of wood, carefully crafted. O'Connor Woodworking was quick to respond to the order, asked if I had any questions, and was quick to deliver will definitely look to them again for future needs.
