Back in 1935 Ripley's believe it or not was a column in the newspaper. At that time they noted there was a shaving brush in use for 47 years....
Yes, glued from the backside after putting the knot through the ferrule. One trick that I use is to set 3 quarters on the handle portion and then...
Wow, that's truly impressive. I've never seen a Never-Shed brush in that kind of shape.
