First Restore

Here's my first vintage restore: the handle is a Victoria, vintage unknown, but I'm guessing the 50s, as it appears to be Bakelite. Unfortunately the logo is mostly gone, but otherwise the handle is in pretty good shape. The knot is a Virginia Sheng Pur Tech 20mm, set at 48mm. It's my first experience with the Pur Tech fiber (Gen 4, I understand) and I'll have to say I'm impressed. I chose it primarily to keep cost down in case I totally messed things up on the first go around, but I'll likely choose one again, as it is very nice irrespective of price. Super soft on the face, and decent backbone at the 48mm loft. It matches well with the smallish Victoria handle and I'm really happy with this sweet little brush.

Thanks to everyone on this great forum for the guidance and advice, especially Big Jim, eastomjac and deruitem for the knot sizing advice.

Have fun.
