Was a quick getrdone job. Not much sanding or getting the lettering deeper to accept the white paint and no polishing but I'm happy with it.

I like it!  Cool
Thanks, I wanted another boar but had to put this knot somewhere.  Cool

I've got a Rexall, but it doesn't have the Klenzo.


Original hair, I need to re-do the lettering.


   

   

   
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

NICE, I should have sanded more to even the lighter spots and deepened the lettering before the paint for it to take better, but like it looking somewhat aged still. I admire the work on your and now want to find a Koch's brush like that  Big Grin

How would you deepen the lettering?

I've seen people clean them out with a needle or exacto knife etcetera before painting to hold paint better.

My eyes aren't good enough, I'd screw it up.

Me too and hence I left well enough alone.

OK, now I see it. Very nice work. I love to restore old brushes.
