The one on the left was for me,the one on the right and the soap I gave to my father in law for an early Christmas gift last night. Finish is Waterlox. My brush got 6 six light coats, his got 2 really heavy coats and a couple coats of furniture wax. Both knots are TGN 24mm premium silver tips.

Unfortunately my father in laws knot is shedding, mine lost 2 hairs and that was it. My knot is almost 4 years old that I finally made a handle for, the other I bought last month. Hopefully this isn’t a trend in quality but just a fluke. The glue bulge on the new one is huge too, I had to enlarge 1” hole to 1 1/8” to fit the newer knot.

Any how, he’s stoked with the new brush and soap. I guess I’ll order from maggards next time.
