I just finished another restore. This one is a black and yellow Ever-ready 925. I put in a whipped dog knot 30mm x 65mm. I couldn't decide on the knot depth so I went with 51mm. I face-lathered it a few times and then finally used it this morning. I went with GFT coconut cream with a dash of Proraso for the maiden voyage. It lathered very well to say the least.

Looks pretty cool, I don't know if the lettering is engraved deep enough but you can repaint the lettering if so.

The lettering is too shallow. It's kind of a "what you see is what you get". The lettering was actually depleted altogether. Did the best I could with it.

Nice job, but not (knot?) my style...I'm really starting to get away from the larger brushes. Even a 22mm knot seems big to me now!
