Stumbled across this brush hiding in the back of the pack. I had put it together a few years ago for S&Gs. The knot is a Vie Long horse hair and the handle is a Wilkinsons. The handle I filled with lead and epoxy to give it some heft. I always liked the shape of the Wilkinsons handle which to me is simple and comfortable.
I remembered not liking the horse hair knot when I first tried it so I had put it away. I decided to try it today and was very surprised that it was not too shabby at all. I will have to use for a week in the future to see if that improved impression holds.
That has me wondering why horse hair brushes don't seem to have much of a following on shave forums. Anyone else use a horse hair shave brush on a regular basis?
