    The third brush is a small travel brush. I've been a fan of Simpson Wee Scot for years now and have built a small travel brush with two band finest that I really enjoy and always travel with it and a stick of Arko for a perfect shave on the road every time. I used Dymondwood "Tortoise" pattern with yet another take on Ever-Ready vintage shape.











    Brush Dimensions (approximate):

    Total height: 90mm
    Handle: 49mm
    Loft: 41mm
    Knot: 19mm bulb shape

    I have created a new boar Brush. This one is made with Omega Pro 48 knot and Ziricote wood turned on my lathe. I bought a brand new Omega 48 brush, extracted the knot and set it into my own wood handle. I also lowered the loft slightly. I have done this type of thing before with Pro 49 brush and it came out great. This one also came out amazingly well. This particular knot had quite a bit of flagging (split ends) out of the box. After my initial shampooing and test lathering it looks more than halfway broken in as far as flagging. I really love how this one came out. Some boar enthusiast will really enjoy it.

    Brush Dimensions (approximate):

    Total height: 124mm
    Handle: 63mm
    Loft: 61mm
    Knot: 29mm

    Brush Dimensions (approximate):

    Total height: 102mm
    Handle: 49mm

    Knot: 29mm Bulb shape
