Curse the lot of you...

I'm not even on this site a week and I'm already out searching ePay for a brush to restore!

Considering my other hobby is restoring old woodworking machines (and if you know the site for that, yes, I'm the same guy with the same screen name) this was just bound to happen. But I thought I'd at least last a week before I caved!

Zombie Dad:

As our member Chris would say, "Resistance is futile!" At least now when you restore old woodworking equipment you can use it to restore brushes.

Enjoy the ride.

You laugh, I'm already plotting out if there's a market for custom turned shaving brush handles.

There's a new Rudy Vey thread:

There are some beautiful brushes on there.

BWAAAA HAAA HAAAA.

Didn't anyone tell you?

This site is full of enablers.
I'm one and darn proud of it.

Welcome to B&B! You will be successful if you are able to limit your AD to just one area, i.e., brushes. However, it usually spreads to mulitple areas, razors, brushes, colognes, soaps, etc. That's when you know you have really fallen prey to the enablers on this board.

Fortunately, my passions lie in restorations (tools, brushes, razors, etc). Smelling great is the job of SWMBO.

Yep we're all a bunch of enablers here so don't look for any support.

You do know however that research shows that vintage butterscotch brushes are radioactive , and any you find should be sent to a small island as south as you can go to be disposed of.

When you find some let me know and I'll send you my address

Moderation is for those who lack testicular fortitude.

Tell me about it...I haven't yet finished my first restoration, but I've already got three more handles coming in the mail (and a sh!t-load more on my eBay watch list!

)
