A handcrafted shaving brush is an object that someone has thought about, worked with his hands and in the end produced thanks to his craftsmanship. A handcrafted product embodies the essence of its creator.

Craftsman Raffaele Talarico draws inspiration from his Calabrian origins, roots that are reflected on his face in an expression that seems to be that of Calabria’s mountains, from the rugged land that climbs up to the sky, dark and secret, or that which softens in wild and rolling roundness, ready to be embraced by the sea.

Naturalness, reasoned imperfection, calculated asymmetries are my premises.

The handle gets a rough design with rasps and chisels and is than refined (read more here: https://pennellitalarico.com/how-does-it-work/)

The result is a unique object of rare value, “one of a kind” – so every piece is numbered and autographed. A perfect gift and a piece of real value for a lifetime.

“Working by hand with no use of power tools is a choice. Only in this way I can ensure the natural beauty of my brushes and – at the same time – control every aspect from the design to the execution!”

‘I choose a natural and warm material like wood and often the shapes of my brushes gently reflect the natural curves of their origins. I try to create and model in each brush my passion, love for my family, enthusiasm for a work that is beautiful and emotional for me.’

A Talarico shaving brush encompasses all this.

Passion – Roots – Tradition
