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.
Now - since more men probably shave daily than go hunting, we have produced a shaving set with the utmost care, the most expensive quality of burl wood and the smallest number of pieces, which will probably be hard to match for a long time.
The four-layer piano lacquer finish perfectly showcases the wood's beautiful pattern. The brush and razor are also available separately.
It goes without saying that the brush is handcrafted with the finest premium badger hair. The razor (shown here with the Gillette Fusion shaving system) is also available for all other Gillette shaving systems (G2, Contour, Mach3).
Mass:
Shaving brush:
Total height: approx. 105mm
Weight: approx. 45 grams
Ring diameter: 22.5mm
Visible hair length: approx. 58mm
Razor:
Handle length (depending on the shaving system) approx. 105mm
Weight: approx. 70 grams
Holder made of chrome-plated brass with walnut root crown:
Weight: approx. 250 grams
Required footprint: approx. 8.5cm
Here are some interesting facts about the Caucasian walnut tree and its wood extraction and processing.
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, but have to dig it out ("stump it out," "stuff it out," "crock it out") – no other tree species uses this expensive process. However, the most valuable burl wood is found in the lower part of a walnut trunk and extends deep into the ground as a root tuber. These grains of the tubers, as well as the branch forks and the bolsters on the trunk, are very popular, displaying a lively 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.
