my shave brush
I made this brush a while back and am just now getting around to posting it. It's a Black Badger Hair knot I ordered from the Golden Nib and gaboon ebony handle I turned on a lathe.
I used a friction polish to finish it.

I really like the black badger knots - just scritchy enough. I made several with home-made ivory plastic. I really like your black on black brush - guess I'll have to try one in African Blackwood.

I love working with ebony. And most my clothes are black so I figured I might as well get the black badger hair not. I do like that there is just enough silver band need the handle to give some contrast.
I have another not I will mack a handle for soon. Can't remember exactly what grade but I think it's a silver tip. I'll have to see if I have any Olive wood left for that. If not then I'll do Koa. both are very nice to work with.
