Briar burl shaving brush.
Finished this up today, a TGN 22mm best badger in a longish Briar burl handle. The handle was oiled, shallecked, waxed and buffed. I kept the design of the handle very basic, so the burl grain is the first thing you see.

It definitely needs an oil or something to bring out that grain. I did a cosmetic brush with the same Briar, finished with just friction polish (shallec) and I wasn't happy with the depth of grain that came up. The oil makes the magic happen. Here I'll post it.

That's a beautiful brush - I'm a sucker for the old barbershop shape - would you care to make one for me let's say 26mm?

Each has it's own qualities. They are both great.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
