    Default 1st brush restore many shaves on-

    It's an old Erskine handle from junk shop and a GN 24mm boar knot. Thoroughly broken in now and it's a soap and cream killer. Loads of lather for more than one pass. This one and my Simpson Beaufort B2 are the only ones in the rotation. I love this brush.

    Nice job on a great looking handle. There is a lot of satisfaction in restoring a handle that you like.

    Best regards,

    Default I wish I had had the presense of mind to have it copied

    before replacing the knot. I like the style of the handle very much.
