Caucasian walnut is one of the most valuable woods in the world.
The four-layer piano lacquer seal perfectly showcases the beautiful pattern of the wood.
It goes without saying that the brush is hand-tipped with the finest premium badger hair or, as shown here, with two-band silvertip. The razor is available with an open or closed comb. Please select your preferred option from the options below.
Caucasian walnut is one of the most valuable woods in the world. This exceptional wood is primarily used in the manufacture of rifle stocks. In good quality, the wood for a single rifle stock typically costs well over €1,000.
Well, since most men probably shave more often than they go hunting, we have crafted a shaving set with the utmost care, using the most expensive quality burl wood and the smallest quantities, which will probably be hard to find anywhere else for a long time.

Walnut wood is one of the most valuable woods of all.
If you want to use the wood, you can't simply fell the tree; you have to dig it out ("stump it," "stuff it," or "crock it"). This expensive process isn't used for any other tree species. However, the most valuable burl wood is found in the lower part of a walnut trunk, extending deep into the ground as a root tuber. These grain patterns in the tubers, as well as in the forks of branches and the tops of the trunk, are very popular, as they display a vibrant yet unobtrusive pattern.
Almost every hunter has some walnut in their closet, as its special properties make this wood ideal for rifle stocks. It's tough, not very elastic, and doesn't shrink once dry. In terms of compressive and flexural strength, it achieves better values than oak and is also splinter-resistant.
But be careful:
The supply of walnut is very limited. Therefore, there are hardly any large solid wood furniture made from this species; it is usually veneered. And since nurseries have long focused on breeding high-yielding walnut trees rather than long-trunk varieties, it will be difficult to increase the supply in the medium to long term.
American walnut is often offered commercially alongside European walnut, but in these cases the wood usually comes from a walnut relative, the black walnut. Trade names such as African walnut, viola nut, and Tanganyika nut are also intended to refer to the walnut, but have nothing to do with it.
