My first restore

This past summer I got this shaving brush from my grandfather. He is 78-years-old and is not in a state to be using a bladed razor, so he gave me his boar brush. I decided I would restore it, considering the boar hair was so ugly and would never be used by me.

It's great to hear of stuff passed down from generation to generation. That's what quality is all about. Congrats on your successful restore.

Congratulations. Well done.

Nice job Matthew!

Very nice (although I kind of like the original paint scheme)!

Cool!

Amazing knot!!!!!!!

But... that is not really a restore. That's not the same brush anymore..
And I don't get it whats wrong with the lacquer and finish? This looks like you burnt it
