Thread: Wood handled shave brushes

I didn't think keep before pictures. I will with the next batch. Here's the horn collar brush. It was in good shape compared to others. Had no idea it was horn till started cleaning.

A few customs that are wood,,, I have a couple custom boars I'll post later;

24mm Custom Bacote & Lignum Vitae By Andrew Moss of Canada

Those are some fine looking brushes!! My brushes are all acrylic or aluminum but I have a nice wood handled brush in my future��

Here is one I found a couple of months ago. Haven't done anything to it although I might just send it out to have it redone and re-knotted.

That's what mine looked like. It will come back nicely though, it looks good no checks or dings.

I really like wood-handled brushes. Painted, vintage, custom, whatever.

WOW! Nice collection. Love the metal collared orange looking one with the ornate button on end of handle.

That thing is a monster! 28mm. I began by sanding the handle and dipping the thing in Rustoleum many times and walking around swirling the paint for a half-day! There was a thread. Funny.
After it finally cured (4 mo) I wet- sanded it and shot it with clear. WOW! Proceeded to bust the bakelite cap, so called upon Ray (Walleyeman) and sent him my mess. He turned a taller top of solid brass and even threaded the inside to screw onto the wooden threads! It heads straight to the soap as it operates on the principle of gravity!
