A Birthday Brush for Me :)

Here is a new brush I just received from my kids for my Birthday !!!!
Rick, Mandy and Molly with a sneaky effort from Andrew (HarryWally)
A very much appreciated gift I will treasure.
Mike

Looks classic and classy. Great looking brush!

That's great that you have people that think of you like that! Very nice brush too!

Congratulations

A great brush from Andrew and love from the family

Congratulations!
Awesome gesture from the family!
Awesome brush from Andrew.
You will absolutely love his brush. I only have one of his. I better make some shelf space because that's going to change soon.

Pete <:-}

Nice brush! Congrats and enjoy! That gift, from family members, will be cherished for many years.

Nice! Happy Birthday, BTW! :D

Glad you like it Mike. Couldn't have gone to a better guy! When Rick msg'd me and said what he wanted to do, I kinda pushed my other projects aside.... but only for you! :) Har,Har!

I sincerely appreciate it. The finish is awesome! Thanks buddy :)
Mike

Thanks Mike, and you're welcome!

I knew you're a tobacco guy, so I did briar burl and finished it the same way a pipe would get done. 3 coats of oil, buffed with tripoli, diamond, and then carnauba. The inside pocket was sealed with 3 coats of CA and the knot is A Virginia Sheng, 24mm finest.

Oh, and I oriented the grain to give that flame like appearance.

Oh ya........ happy birthday!

I did hear something like you and Rick trying to convert me from Boar to Badger :) LOL

Haha, yup. This can't be your first badger???

YUP !!!
I had one I gave to the wife.
I use soaps so i figured a good Boar was best. I never ever used one before :)

A man who likes what he likes, I like that. Your a leader not a follower! If you don't like it after a few goes, don't be afraid to sell that thing! Won't bother me..... but it might Rick! Ha.

HaHa
Never be for sale!
Even if i save it for special occasions, its now sentimental :)

Very nice brush. I think if you give it an honest go you will find you have days you want a soft brush and days were you don't. Personally if I miss a day shaving I like the stiffer brush to get through the whiskers to the skin. Happy birthday !

Outstanding gift. Happy birthday

First of many shaves using this brush :)
