a Big boy with a long spreading plume some Indunas use to wear as part of thier traditional wear. The brush is fitted with a boar knot that is finer than our previous batches, we are trying a few from a new supplier and they are looking very promising, this one has seen three lathers and is clean and ready to work, it has a huge coverage are, so guys with lots of area to shave will love this one. The handle is big and heavy, so it is a brush made for your 'average boertjie' with a square jawbone and banana fingers!
The brush handle is made from Kudu horn, more specifically it is the inner horn bone that was used, this stuff is hard and heavy, the inner section of the horn has a less dense structure with cavities and tunnels that allows for the traversing of blood, oxygen, minerals and other organic matter for the continuous development of the horn over the Kudu's lifespan, we fill these voids with resin, making the brush slightly lighter than solid, high density horn, but is still heavier than most natural materials out there. This brush has a neutral resin colour and we textured the top section for some more grip and to give it a more 'ancient' appearance.
The brush weighs 154 grams, and stands 130 mm tall. with a loft set at 70 mm. The body has diameters ranging from 39 mm around the waist to 47 mm around the collar. The brush is fitted with a 30 mm Boar knot.
This brush likes to stand up straight, and will only fit in a few stand options, make sure of your dimensions! We have 32 mm forks that we can fit to our metal stands, mounted upside down on the top rim of the handle it will seat nicely, give us a shout if you need one.
