    I traded my Jayaruh #92 to @HolyRollah for restoring and honing my H. Boker straight razor. I loved that brush, but fortunately, I can make another. So, I did.

    Here are pictures of the process of making JR#144.

    I marked the sections as a guide.

    I worked on the bottom part first.


    [​IMG]
    I created cutouts in the top part.

    I drilled out holes for the birch inlays.

    [​IMG]
    I glued in the birch inlays and then sanded them flush.

    My youngest son called and asked us to meet him and his family at the Krispy Kreme. I was finishing up, so I put away my tools and stuck the handle in my pocket and took it with me. The pictures below are taken at the Krispy Kreme. I have to do some more sanding before finishing it with polyurethane and setting a new knot. It took me about two hours to get the handle to this point.

    The following is with an Ace finest badger dry fitted. I will probably get a Maggard synthetic for this handle.

    Wow All I can say is wow! Another great looking brush!

    As I said to a San Diego Police Officer I saw giving a ticket to someone "We want One Too!"
    My Mother and my Aunt Clem never let me forget that!
    Wow I want one!

    Love the craftsmanship. You do wonderful work.

    I love how, to me, it has a midevil chalace quality.

    Ever think of using a flat urethane to keep that rustic quality? I love just as it is.

    Since this is #144 I am thinking of it as "One Gross Brush."
