Horse hair replacement

Rhon · Sep 21, 2011

I had just purchased a Vie-Long Horse hair brush to replace my old Ever Ready 150 that was falling apart. Horse hair sounded like it may be an interesting brush and I got maybe 6 shaves with it when it disappeared :confused1

. The wife thinks the cat hauled it away because she saw him checking it out. Anyway I can't find it anywhere and he ain't talking so...

Who makes a brush closest to the Ever Ready 150 I had? I'm open for suggestions (other than horse hair)
thanks

cat hair if he steals from your den again might be a option

Few options:

1) Post a WTB (want to buy) in the WTB forum of this site for an reknotted Ever Ready 150. Thus you would have your old handle, but with a new knot.

2) Watch Ebay for a new in box Ever Ready. They pop up quite frequently, and usually for quite reasonable prices.

3) Note sure if you are looking for a boar brush, or a badger brush, or just a brush that looks like the Ever Ready. If it just needs to look similar, I am quite enjoying this Omega Boar Brush that is available in the Ever Ready colors:

4) If you still have your original brush, it is quite easy to drill out the old knot, and add a new one. New knots can be had from:

I think your wife took it and is blaming it on the cat.

I thought of that while I was searching...

I mainly looking for something similar in size and feel. I did a liltle more searching and found the brush specs so I can do some comparisons.

Michiganlover...thanks for the links. They've helped.

Thurston, that thought also crossed my mind. If I wasn't so afraid of her I'd push the issue
