Here are some restorations I have done lately.








And here are some brushes I made in my home shop









Today I restored two more brushes and put them in my Etsy Shop.

Here they are.





Made Rite clear (Lucite?) handle with TGN two band finest







Made Rite with clear (Lucite?) bottom half of the handle with TGN synthetic


I hope you enjoy them!

Outstanding!! Congrats!!
Shaving is a way of life, it is tied with memory and emotion, the joy of a comforting ritual by yourself.

I made three more brushes from Dymondwood material. I really love this stuff. It is water-proof to begin with, but takes polyurethane very well, so I think it is as good as resin as far as water is concerned. Perfect material for brush handles. And very beautiful.

Enjoy!

First, another two band TGN






Now a synthetic from TGN






And another synthetic
