    Last week I picked up a sweet little brush a Rubberset 200-2. I first fell in love with style brush back a few years ago I think it was about 2015 when @HolyRollah posted a wooden handled Rubberset brush in this style that he was restoring. While the one I bought is not wooden it is the same style that I so dearly love.

    This is what it looked like when I bought it. 20200627_074224.jpg

    This is after the glue plug was removed and finding out the handle was hollow and started to polish it up.

    This is after the handle is weighted and filled with epoxy and shined up. 20200706_204048.jpg

    All shined up and the letters filled with white paint. 20200706_204128.jpg
    The cork spacer I used to fill the gap because I didnt want to bury the knot 20mm I figured 13.4mm would be enough. That gave me a final loft of approximately 54.6mm. I hope that doesn't make for too floppy of a brush. I guess we will find out. 20200707_230502.jpg

    The final product with the new 24mm Two Band Badger knot from Maggard Razor with approximately 54.6mm loft. Tomorrow I will lather it up and see what happens. 20200708_133736.jpg

    Enjoy your lather and have a great day.

    Tonight I used my newly restored Rubberset 200-2 brush. The 24mm 2 Band Badger knot from Maggard Razor whipped up a great lather in my bowl and the brush felt really great on my face when applying the lather. I'm really happy with the way this brush turned out. And the bloom is pretty big for just one use I think it will work just fine for now.
