Thread: Stainless Steel Badger Brushes?

Thanks man but not me,The brush above is simple CNC work,simple design,you can crank out a hundred of those in 30 mins with CNC machines.
It would take me two days to make a traditional handle out of SS,you do it)

Moi!!?? Ha, me no do metal.

I've yet to even play around with wood lathe turnable, non ferrous metals. I definitely can't do it.

That too. Brass/alum turns like a dream but stainless can be a pain. Gotta have the right speeds and feeds or it tends to work harden.
Not saying it doesn't look cool, just not trivial to make.

So True,I would rather turn a pce of Titanium than SS.Is a bitch to work with.

I never heard of a stainless badger brush before. It must come from a stainless badger. Kind of like that mechagodzilla fella in Japan. Mechabadger I guess. Probably kind of scratchy. Someone once told me....

Oh you mean the handle. I've been saying for a time now you fellas with the equipment should get a chunk of bronze and work that. Then you would really have something.

WOW that looks great! I don't mind it being heavy i only have it in my hand when i am lathering/applying rest of the time it is in my stand. And i really like the aesthetic appeal of the Matt SS Like i said i got some SS Straight razor scales coming my way soon for my TI. Next will be a SS stand for the feather, TI straight and 2 shaving brushes 1 for cream 1 for soap!

This one really caught my eye.....Then i saw the price, my jaw hit the floor! :P

I had a brush with brass trim and a wood body. It was imbalanced when I lathered, handle heavy, and wouldn't easily sit in the brush holder inverted to dry out. Gave it away.
