2 Vintage Handle Re-Knots

I just acquired two vintage Ever-Ready handles from a friend. He was kind enough to remove the old knot and prep them. I put new knots in them, one from TGN and one from Whipped Dog. Here they are before, pre-bloom, and post-bloom shots. I shaved with them the past two mornings. They are both excellent face latherers.

Both look good but the Ever Ready 50R handle catches my more.

Nice job Lince,,,,:tu

:rock: nice!

They both came out very nice. Is it hard to reknot a brush? I just know with in a year I will probably give it a try along with honing. I promised myself to learn to SR shave for a year before venturing off to new horizons.

P101-Actually, it is not that hard, if you are handy, have a drill, a dremel, and some 2-part epoxy. I do not have a dremel so a friend prepped them for me. If you go to the Brush Makers forum here you will find a lot of help as will a Google search.
