A few restorations.

[Vraad]

A few new knots and their new homes.

Old boar knot that was falling out.

New knot 16mm master badger. loft at 42mm

Post Bloom.

An old Rubberset shedding it's old knot and no longer sealed.

Black Cherry handle.

20mm Black badger. loft at 48mm

Post bloom.

Barbershop brush with loosing it's sealant.

German brush, so I went German flag colour. Handle was too high and wide for the knot so I moved it to the above Rubberset

The travel brush turned into a real gem and the wood handled Rubberset has a nice faint purple colour to it now and is real exfoliating with it's deep set dense black badger

I have both of those old Rubbersets and refurbished them similarly and love them.

Great job on yours

few more reknots. set the loft lower on the 20mm black badger Barbershop 25mm Muhle dropped into Everyready 300 PBT and a 24mm Shore Shave handle from a fellow marylander with my OG brush knot, a 20mm Parker silvertip that's over ten years old, I had to deepen the handle socket to get the massive loft down to something reasonable. pretty excited to put all these into rotation.

Can you give me any tips about how you rejuvenated the wooden handle? I have a really old wooden handle that I'd like to take a shot at, but just don't know how to do it. Thanks

I just sanded it using progressively finer grit paper then used stain then finally sealed it with some polyurethane I had.
