Absolutely beautiful Andrew, the next part is critical so what knot are you going to use? I would like to see if that brush were mine a two band D01 or a Thater two band 26mm fan shaped knot with a 48mm loft my personal choice of course.

Thanked: 2284Well, to be honest this was more of an experiment to see if I could actually do this. Used my Dad as the guinea pig. it's getting a TGN 24mm finest 2 band with a loft of 48mm. He's also getting a puck of TOBS sandalwood, he loves that scent. He'll use that soap exclusively so hence the low loft.
I am planning on getting a couple shave mac knots in the future though. I also still have my 2 28mm Simpson knots. Can't wait to use those!Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

I couldn't give you Bill's exact age Andrew but I would say Bill was in his mid 60s he was a lovely person who led an extremely interesting life, I could stay on the phone for hours talking with Bill I was pretty shocked when I heard to be honest.

Andrew, That brush is a beauty. Indeed, your father raised a good son!

I rest my case.

Thanked: 2284Thanks for the comments guys! Of course, I only see the flaws in it. As you can see, I should have aligned the grain on the 2 cocobolo pieces. That alone ticks me off that I didn't do it. There's a few others but I'll spare you my bellyaching.
