    Default Culmak SM2

    I found this nice old Culmak butterscotch handle a while back, and though it had a small chip off the base I thought it still looked good and probably had some potential, and the price was right too, so that didn't hurt things either...

    ...I decided to go with an Omega natural boar knot from one of their 10065/10066 brushes, which is 24mm at the base. The original knot was a bit smaller so after removing it I opened up the hole a bit and also deepened it somewhat. I added a coin for a few grams worth of extra ballast (US 25 cent "quarter") and glued the new knot in with 47mm of loft.

    It's nothing too fancy but a fantastic brush nevertheless and right in my goldilocks zone for diameter & loft. Here's a couple of pictures and thanks for looking...

    Very nice! Doing a project like this makes you enjoy the brush even more. Have you done this before, cause you did a great job.

    Nice brush. An the selection of vintage gillettes in the background is a nice companion for it.
