im always using tony's finest knots but this time not. 18mm two band finest badger knot specially handmade by very famous an english gentleman . Little hint for you...
Thanks.

this is one very good looking brush here

That handle is insanely awesome!!! Where did you get it? Nevermind, I think I figured it out

who made the knot?

bought from doug. Thanks to him.

Are you thinking about redoing the lettering ,I have a couple of restores I'm in the middle of and I'm having trouble figuring a clean way of cleaning up/painting the lettering

Wow, nice job Melyus.... you did that brush proud.....

Great looking restore

Purely from a British point of view, I always find it ironic that you can hardly find a vintage Simpson for love nor money over here. Not saying there common in the US but they pop up a lot more with you guys.

Curse our export success's

Nice job. My guess is that gentleman is Lee.

Nice. Specifically, I like the proportions. Looks like the perfect loft for the handle.

Very nice! I also have a Simpson 88 that I picked up awhile ago and have been looking to restore. I think I'll do one or two practice runs on more mundane brush handles before bringing any sharp cutting instruments next to my little Simpson. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice...
