Why would that be? This is an old product being re-used, exactly the kind of conservation those of us who care about animals prefer.

As I suspected that is not foam that Ambrose used. It is a type of weather stripping that does not absorb/trap moisture.
I agree Marvin. It is restoring and reusing something old/classic not taking away from another new animal.

I hear the custom knot has been tied and set! I can't wait for pics!
Ditto!
So here it is refitted with a finest knot, the knot is pre bloom. I think its a perfect balance of back bone and softness. I would say it feels like a mix of pure and silver. Its on its way back home to you now slagle, it went out today. Its quite a brush I might add and has come along way with all its worm rot.
Slagle, that is a brush to be enjoyed for many, many years, not one to be sold. It is a work of art.
Thanks for sharing with us!

These next five are comparison pics with other brushes I own. The first pic is a full bloom comparison next to the 2008 B&B LE. The second is a bloom comparison next to the 2006 B&B LE. The third pic is with four of my favorite brushes, the B&B Essential, the 2008 B&B LE, the 2006 B&B LE and my Shavemac 585. The fourth and fifth pics are side shots and a side by side comparison with the 2006 B&B LE.
gorgeous.
how much did it cost in the end? i need to find some horn or bone and work one of these out myself.

WOW man that thing bloomed out!!!Very NICE SOTD, love that army slant!
how did that hair feel after all?
Yeah bloomed it is bloomin' huge!
It felt fantastic. It was nearly as soft and dense as my 2008 B&B LE. Thanks again for your contribution to this restoration.Samouraï;1293978 said:
The restoration, custom tied/new knot, refinish etc. ran about $100. I paid far far less than that for it. In the end it was definitely worth it!
