Before: With the old knot removed and handle polished: With the 22mm TGN Finest bulb knot dry fitted: Tomorrow I will fill the handle with epoxy and set the knot in silicone. Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
Do you know if Ever-Ready made brushes for Old Spice? My very first brush was from an Old Spice set (1963-64) which included brush, soap, mug and aftershave. I remember the brush looking like recent pictures I've seen of vintage Ever-Ready brushes.
Linuxguile, I have a 200T I'm going to do, I watch a utube video and the guy filled the handle with epoxy but he also put in steel balls for weight are you going to Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I'm not sure, but there may be some people who know floating around Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
So I did end up adding 12 pennies to the handle, not for additional weight specifically but because the epoxy didn't fill enough of the cavity without them. Now just waiting for the silicone to set and then to shampoo the knot and give it a test lather Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
Very nice restoration,that is one of my favorite style handles. One word of caution, a large amount of epoxy in a closed space can generate a lot of heat that can warp the handle. I also like to use sandpaper to round off the sharp edge on the bottom, it makes the handle a littler more comfortable to hold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pre-bloom: So with the silicone adhesive set I shampooed the knot out and then set to do a test lather. I loaded La Toja for 10 seconds, this knot really picked up a lot of soap: And bowl lathered until it got thick and creamy. And finally a post-bloom shot: I think I'm going to like this brush very much! Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
Thank you got the kind words and advise! This will be the first of many I'm sure! Sent from my Galaxy S6 using Tapatalk
Superb, Andrew! You did a fantastic job on that brush! It really whips up the lather doesn't it? Good Show my friend!!!
Thanks Alan! the lather was so creamy, much more so then I usually get from my synthetics. Will put it to its first real use tonight!
