Thread: Old brushes

Nice old fashioned designs.

I agree. Really can't go wrong with the classics.

I could never go for a brush that didn't have a flat bottom to stand up on its own. I do hang them overnight to dry, but the herd stands up once they are done drying. Cool old brushes though.

Ideas, ideas flowing through my head. They're all so cool!

i love the tall barber brushes. i took some ideas from vintage brushes for the one i made in curly koa.

MrMagnus, do you have a pic of this brush ?....I would love to see it !!

In the middle of commissioning a huge (100mm+) handle made in faux Ivory. Not sure wether to go with a huge extra dense silver tip know a a nice big boar. Gonna be in that old school design. 2nd row, second from left

Will come with matching scales for my latest wade and butcher restoration. Can't wait

+1
I do the same

Do you know what year this is from? Just curious.

Thanks for posting.

Ever-ready was the undisputed king of the common man's brush for many many years.

I once had a brush with a long handle with a rounded bottom and I hated it because it wouldn't stand on end.
