Restored my Grandfather's brush

Cleaned up and replaced the brush on my Grandfather's Ever Ready 100T.

That looks like nice work. Was much effort required, and what knot did you use?

Looks great! I'm curious what knot you used also.

Best Badger Hair- Deluxe Quality from Exotic Blanks.

I pulled out the old hairs with a pair of pliers, bored out the old glue with a Forstner bit, cleaned up the hole with a Drexel tool, polished the handle with Hut's plastic polish and epoxied in the new knot. Not too much work.

Great job on the restore. It looks as good as new.

That is awesome! Funny thing is I just restored the exact same brush this weekend. It was my dad's brush. He died when I was 3. I used a knot from TGN-two band finest. I'll try to post some pics tonight.

Great stories guys.

I am about to start a restore with the same brush and knot, what size TGN knot did you order if I may ask?

Very nice job. Pretty cool that you get to use the same brush as your grandfather.

Very nice looking brush - Great job!

Very nice. Well done.

Here is a photo of the one I restored that was my dads brush. The knit I ordered was a 22mm two band finest from TGN. I set it at 12mm. I love the results. Makes lather like no other brush I own!

Very nice.

Ok thanks for getting the pic on there. I was about to give up! How did you do that? I'm using Photobucket. What kind of link do you use?

http:// Here is a comparative picture with a Semogue 620. Love the 620 for face lathering but this TGN knot seems to have almost as much backbone and yet is much softer. Forgive me if this pic doesn't work. I'm determined to get this right.
