Allen’s knots are getting better and better.

Lovely knot - A little more backbone than the Reserve IV. The tips are more gelled, not overly but it is noticeable. This bulb is wonderful but a smaller knot, even for a 26mm, that punches way above its weight class.

Honestly I think he might be the best at this point. Great looking handles.

Vlad Ferdman is a name I haven’t heard in a while! The last couple times I’d looked at his site I didn’t see much in the way of available handles; did you reach out to him for a custom order?

TommyCarioca · 12-03-2023, 08:00 PM

I did Jesse! Called him. Sent him my specs. 2 weeks later 3 brushes. He is the best. Love that guy. He is still turning!

Let me know if you want his info

Tommy

Thanks man. Vlad really can make anything. Very very reasonable and fast turn around.

If i ever have any custom leanings, Vlad and Allen are my go to guys.
