A few software items from the fine folks at Stirling:

Coming soon, Gillette Blue Tip A4 1955

A case of PAL Super blades from a local store.

APR is a pretty decent soap base. Being from Austrilia it is a bit expensive, but their scents are well blended and performance is quite good. As long as you like the scent you shouldn't have any problems, hope the APR serves you well Guy.

Coming soon, Maseto 2 Band Finest Badger Ivory 30/54mm knot

This is an amazing brush, you will love it!

I know @Linuxguile I LOVE Maseto brushes see below and why

I really like the ivory beehive.

I've never bought a new brush costing more $7. That said, I restore brushes worth 10-12 times that, but I don't keep them.

Just scored this trio...(naturally, I had to pick up the B&M soap to go with the AS...
(Seller's pic)

Had to go for this brush today and got it for a good price. I think it deserves to be restored as I like "Barbershop" type brushes and the knot looks either unused or hardly used. And according to the seller, it's about six inches in height, pretty big.............

I too was watching this a figured if nobody bids, I'd put it back together ... You done good Jim!

Thanks, it's got real good potential..........

The knot doesn't look that bad ... I'd pull the knot and see if it's good, strip it, clean out the hole and clamp the crack. Give it a finish and drop in a knot; but she's your baby.

I'm hoping I can remove the knot and fix the wood. Either by removing the wood first, or if I have to, fix it where it is. I'd like to finish it in as close to the original colors. Removing it would be nice tho.............

Can't wait to see the results Jim.

Just hoping the wood isn't too brittle, but it looks alright.

Ordered four 18mm Finest badger knots.

Coming soon in the mail:- Gillette Super Adjustable short handle P1 1970
