This is my wife's Grandfathers razor. He was born in 1900 and to put thing into perspective my wife and I are 66 years old. It's been stored in a chest in Montana since 1966. Excellent shave this morning.

Re: Semogue Caravela Mistura in Taj Resin

My first impression of this knot is positive but I'll admit to being a boar fan, they're my favorite brushes. I'd describe the feel as a refined coarseness. It's not prickly in the least. My only regret is putting it in a wood handle (bloodwood).

Re: Semogue Caravela Mistura in Taj Resin

I just made up a brush using a mixed knot, 70% 2 band badger and 30% boar. I bought the knot from Maggard's and it's 24mm and nice and dense. I'm a big boar fan they're my favorite brush but this brush has a distinct feel to it.

Nice knot

I purchased this knot from Maggard's, it's their 2 band Super High Density. Pictured is a 22mm and knot the dia. above the plug is close to 24mm.

Re: Refinishing burl wood brush handle

In my mind I'm not sure about wood and water but having been messing with some wood handles lately. If figure if wood was good in water they'd make boats out of it (poor joke). Here's a piece of zebra wood. I took a little liberty with the color, the number of coats of tung oil is absurd. I plan on ...
