Many are probably familiar with the M7 handle design from Simpson. I've always found it an attractive handle but I didn't want to pay Simpson's asking price. I am also a fan of the new Wet Shaving Products brushes. So when I learned that Bob Quinn at Elite Razor could make a brush using a WSP knot I contacted him. I actually contacted him immediately after he posted pictures of some wood/resin combination blanks that he commissioned. I fell in love with a buckeye burl / wine red swirl. Seen here: Bob is a joy to work with and I'm amazed at his talent. The pictures below are of my new E7 from Bob. It's not completed yet as he needs to put some protective coats on it but as you will see its a real looker.

The handle is $60, then the cost of the knot. Quite the value for the quality IMHO.
