Congrats on that find. Great shape and the color scheme is sweet too. I looked him up, and it doesn’t seem like he’s making many handles these days. Only one available now. Very fair prices on what he has made, though.

FS, you are correct. He turns in spurts. I keep an eye on him though, as he is not a 'known entity' and his handles 'stay available' for awhile. He has done several really nice big barbershop handle in some exotic woods as attached.

I have not contacted him for custom work. He might be amenable!?

Wow, Tommy! That's one's really sweet too! I believe I'll keep an eye out on his stuff too. Maybe at some point I'll shoot him a message about making one. I like what I see from him. 

Oh, on a soap related note - Pasteurs has a sale on Grooming Dept. products. The stock has been selling out quickly. They still have L'avventura for a really sweet price - not that you probably need any more backups. But...just in case.

FS, per your notification, I took advantage. Big thanks. I can always use more la Aventurra!
