Very nice restoration. Always like lucite handles. The E500 is probably one of the best shapes. Well done
I went with 22 mm silvertip from VIGSHAVING. I bought 3 for $47. Seems like a decent knot, no stink, great feel and no only lost a couple of hairs from the two I've set so far.
Thank you Rob, I used it this morning and it tore up the soap and made enough lather to shave Sasquatch. Soft but with backbone, and a really comfortable grip and heft for face lathering.
I used some Testors enamel ( the model paint) . I was going to go with the original black but that bottle of red was sitting there so after it was all cleaned out I put a couple of coats on and wow it worked! When the knot was finally in place I said to myself "self that is one cool unit " ! All the other voices in my head agreed so red it was!
