I worked a little on the shape of one of the handles today.
March 23
I put it to the boys of The Shave Den to see which configuration they preferred. They liked B by a pretty good margin, but the wife liked A best.

Today, I applied semi-gloss polyurethane on the handle and hung it up to dry. I found out that the HMB knot from Whipped Dog shipped and is due to arrive Saturday. The handle should be ready for a fitting by then.
This brush will be designated as Jayaruh WC4 HMB.

I decided to go with A. It has a great feel for a face-lathering brush. An add plus is that the wife likes it best. So today, I did a little more sanding and put the hole for the knot in the end. I also ordered a High Mountain Badger knot from Whipped Dog. It should be an awesome brush when done.

Those are looking good - great job so far
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jon. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and work on these two handles. I'm just trying something different.
DeleteWhat are you going to do compete with WD & Oscar11 ?
ReplyDeleteThey look great so far. They will turn out as good as the first ones you made.
I assure you. I am not in their league. But thanks.
