The hourglass shaped Ever-Ready handles have become a favorite of mine, I like their looks, they way they feel and the various colors they came in. The two tone black and white and blue and white handles are pretty common but here's a couple that I have that are a little different. The cream colored one is a K40 that originally came with a badger knot, and the red one is a boar 100. The K40 was in excellent condition, but the knot was really soft and floppy. So I replaced it with an Ace Shaving 20 mm finest badger, which is an outstanding knot. The original lettering was perfect so I left it alone. This brush was very clean and showed little signs of use. The red 100 was really nasty when I got it. After some heavy duty cleaning and polishing I replaced the original knot with a 22 mm TGN Omega boar with the bucket removed. The lettering wasn't painted originally but I decided to paint them, because, well, I just like the way it looks. I think it looks a bit better now. Here they are after a couple uses, both are really great brushes now. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did tinkering with them!
