nice.
the antiques should restore nicely.

Looks like you are off to a great start.

Grandfather's brushes = Priceless

Great set. That Chicago Shaving boar is very nice as it is and will be even nicer after restoration. And it's amazing the years of use you've gotten from your Omega 10098.

In 2002, bought my best man a Kent BK4, as a gift. I don't think he uses it, and always lusted over that brush!

Looks like a badger is needed! Any suggestions! Partial to acrylic handles, as I like brush to soak
