Thread: made rite brush restore

found this brush at an antique store for a deal and just had to give it a new life. looked kind of crusty 'till i hit it with some wet dry and micro-mesh. all it needs is a new knot.(those nylon bristles aren't worth saving are they?)

What a difference on the handle,
I think it would look great with a badger in it, that's if you can get the old one out without any damage to the handle, if not, it's o.k. as it is.

The bristles look to be in good shape. I'd at least try them out a few times and see how they work.
Some of them can actually be pretty good.

That looks great.Have never used a syn or even a boar.But give it a try,you might like it.

Handle looks great, any thoughts on the knot?

Nice job. I would leave it as it is even if it isn't your favorite.

The bristles appear to be in good shape...I'd give it a go before trying to take the knot out. Nice work you did overall..the thing looks like new

Great save on the handle. Looks like new.

I have a nylon brush that I use to prep my beard with VDH soap. Works great for cleaning and softening the hair. After rinsing, I use a badger and a better soap to lather before shaving. Keep the nylon. It will work great for pre-shave cleanups.

My dad used to have a nylon brush from the same period. It was terrible. I'd replace that knot in a heartbeat.
