    Default New Brush

    Well thanks to a great mother in law I now get to retire my 9 dollar shaving brush I bought at Target. She found this one in an antique store. I drilled out the old knot and poped in one from lee valley. I like the retro look. So I now have a 10 dollar knot looks like I'm moving up

    Is that glass or plastic. If it's glass maybe cut-glass or if you're really lucky Waterford Crystal.

    Looks great either way.

    I have that same lucite handle. I love it. I will eventually restore it with a new knot. Trying to decide how much I want to put into it. Might splurge and go with a Shavemac knot. Would make a really nice brush.
