Just a guy who shaves.

Maybe this is his way of suggesting that you need to start working out?

I sure won't get a workout using that thing!

But it shaves just like a "real" razor.

Nice of him to do that! Great finds!

This was my first brush fix, kinda rough, but it was $1.25 with free shipping, nothing to loose if I killed it.



As received.






It was difficult at the time to find many large boar knots, I got this from TGN that claimed to be 27mm.






Cut it open.





And it wasn't a pretty sight.





So I made a tapered ring to make it fit.





Not glued in yet.





I think it came out pretty good.











Added white letters about a year later.






Looks kinda fugly, but that is one glorious boar brush to use!

Nice jury-rig

Used that brush and the weird little German razor to shave with yesterday, no shave today.

I forgot to add; Perfect shave as always!

Amen! That ring is a stroke of genius and looks like it's manufactured that way.

I beg to differ... that boar isn't any uglier than other boars. They're just not pretty knots, imo. They're functional and they'll look darn good with a nice pile o' lather dripping off of them. [emoji1]

Awesome job!

Used my Rexall brush today, a little floppy and shedding won't stop. That original knot is done, time for a new one I guess.

Loving the work you are doing on those vintage brushes? They all turn out really great!

Thanks Don, I love the old stuff, it's the only reason I'm into this wet shaving thing.

No-name razor.





Piece of junk really, but it shaves beautifully.


Nice Ever~Ready brush, original hair.








Used those for the shave yesterday, perfect shave as always.

Used that razor and a Wontshed brush today.





The hair looks terrible in that pic, someone mist have left it sitting in a mug for years and it just hasn't straightened out yet, looks much better in "person".

Fantastic shave today, as always.
