My next restores

I got my knots in the mail today from TGN. Just need to do a little more sanding to fit. I am going to change up my original plan. The butterscotch handle is originally a Made Rite 500 PB(Pure Badger), so I'm going to put the PB back into it. And I think the Black Badger looks good in contrast with the cream and red handle. And of course boar going back in its original handle also.

I'll finish these up tomorrow and should be using one of them for Mondays shave.

Knots are all set and glued in... I hope I got them set better than last time. I'll wait until tomorrow morning to get them wet and see how they bloom. I'm hoping for a stiffer brush than the last ones of the same knot.

 

Those look really good. It looks from the photo that you have them set nicely.

 

Thanks, I'll post a shot tomorrow after I've wet and test lathered them once or twice.

 

All done and lathered up once. So far I'm happy with the Pure Badger and Black Badger the way they bloomed and feel in hand. The Boar I'll have see once it's actually used a few times and broke in.

Now the only question remains, which one to use first?
