SoS: April 6, 2015 - April 12, 2015

OK... Last post in SoS regarding these, sorry about the hijack.... These are what I have in this style.

 

top in pic is either mismatched or a goodwill that I can't see well, with a common bar handle

middle long comb new, with common bar handle

bottom ball end old type

 

Old Type with ball end handle. Looks in pretty good condition. Any cracks on the handle? It is rare to not have at least a small one.

 

Thanks. Yes, both ends have cracks. I epoxied the ends back on.

 

Its my understanding that it is a goodwill. Two diamond shaped indents to align the blade.

 

I couldn't see it that well.
but yes, if that's the case. it is in deed a goodwill.

 

Friendly reminder that this is the weekly SOTD thread. Please feel free to post in any one of the many different forums regarding the topic you wish to discuss.
Thank you

 

Thank you. Just realized my Ipad camera had been set on "square" until last night.

Very nice Brush Guy, the WW handle has a new knot. Glad to see it added to the collection.

 

Had to go with the HMB as the original synthetic was a shedder which was too bad as it was an overall nice looking brush and it performed quite well. Will be the first time using the Hydra but it smells pretty darn good when you pop the lid.
