Thanks, actually I got it from Nick at Sportshaving.com. I think it's polyurethane but I'm not sure. I don't know what the knot is, just that it's a synthetic.

Thanks, I sure will post an after photo.

Yeah it's awesome to me. How many brushes can you think of that look like this? So far I've only seen a handful in pics that were in good condition.

I saw one late last night on eBay by chance when searching for a different brush, after seeing what it looks like restored I'm now looking forward to seeing yours when it's finished. What a transformation!

I remembered Dark having one that was either very similar or identical when I happened upon it on the bay.

Man, that one looks great

My precious one...still a fixer-upper....
As mentioned there is one more on the bay right now but it's part of a larger lot

Sweet!!!

Yeah him and I are "brush twins". Lol

You're lucky he already had one is all I can say

Well, I did pick up another vintage brush this weekend for sub-10 dollars...
Maybe not so interesting visually...but it's a make (it's a Sta-Fast) and shape that I didn't already have...


..it is joining this rowdy gang that all needs some good cleaning and grooming:

Looks great. I really like these old wooden handle brushes. New AD.......

And the best thing is that they can often be had for 5-6 dollars. The most inexpensive one was 99 cents

I know it's like we have our own little niche that hasn't been exploited yet.

Just don't go talking about it and post photos on foru.... oh....rats......

Btw, the other brush I was thinking about just sold as part of this $40 lot:

$40 is pretty reasonable for all that.

Here is my latest score. Cost a grand total $19 shipped What I really wanted was the Schick G3. But who am I not to take 2 other cool razors.
I used an ER 1912 all of November. So I am really happy to get a Star to add to the SE collection. You can't go wrong with a Gillette SS Black tip to boot.

Nice score. Good razors

Added two more NF brushes to my growing forest.
