Has anyone noticed that the #4 is more pricey than the #3?

Yeah, but as-original, they all come with those nasty boar knots! :D

Handles are the same, save the numbers on them. The #4 had a much higher loft than the #3, FME.

Thatsa' nice, Mike! :tu

Cool! BTW, Phrank. This Sunday is Snurdler SOTD day! :)

Oh, that old heater box is still out there hissing! Yet the stand is great! ;)

Did I not tell you all I am Phrank's Texas agent? Please remit!:D

Cool, Gents! I preach it all the time. Works a Treat! :)

You must remember that lather is generated at the tips by aerating water and soap, to some unknown ratio without soaking the shafts and...

Simple! This is experience! It was not loaded with too much water to begin with! It wound up being loaded with lather! (big difference!)
Adding the water as it is needed by dipping the tips is...

Great, Phrank! May I inquire as to what made the difference? :w

Oh, you can add water to the tips to get the lather right!
To me, the hot water has the same effect on the brush bristles as it does on your whiskers.
I dig the character of the knot and the...

Sorry, Phrank, but I cannot understand for the life of me the obsession of soaking brushes. Tried it, did not work for me.
Mine get soaked as I wash them out. Totally dry with the tips wetted...

Right up there! Great! :nj

Take it to the buffer, lightly with the brown stuff for aluminum.
Oh YEAH! ;)

Gee. Rob just killed the thrill of the hunt, eh? ;)
Wonder what these puppies cost?

Blast away with the NevrDull on the bottom, Mike. Put some under your thumb and twist it about. Works well, FME.

Pretty cool how we all share our same means to the end! :tu

TBH, I have spent a ton of time restoring and customizing vintage brushes, but the LEAST labor intensive brushes I have are from you!
Because YOU did all the work! :D Love all of them!
...

If you want to dull the corners off everything, I think? Must be sanded and then LIGHTLY polished to make it look proper. I spent many hours over a bucket of water with these. wet-sanding.
Like...

I was speaking of a layer upside down and one upon it right side up (just to keep the sticky off the hairs), but you have a point with the frog tape. It seems to contain it'self quite well.
It may...

Bah! Just need to stop before it is perfect! ;) Aluminum is soft! Renwax is great with it, IMO.

So. Tape the hairs with Good quality masking tape, upside down, sticky side up! (hard to do!)
Then slide it ever so much toward the top, another layer sticky-side down going up tight to the...

Lather fling test! Yer KILLING ME! :rofl2:
I never soak my brushes before use, just dip the tips in water. Mine seems to have plenty of stiffness using it that way.
BTW, A seller on the...

We can only hope, Andrew.

As to the flinging. Agreed! :beer1:

UhOh! Mike is throwing a stick in the works.....He gets attached to things, Phrank.
Watch him! :rolleyes:

I never fling lather with a tall boar brush! :shrug:
Keep the tips on the face and use it just like a badger?

So a shavemac badger now! Better make up your mind, Phrank! Mike will be done...
