2 ER100T restorations done a week apart

[willyb]

ER100T on left
22mm TGN black badger set a bit lower than its brother
only 1 shave in so far. Stiff but not scratchy, i like it.

ER100T on right

20mm TGN best badger set with a stack of pennies for heft.
6 or so shaves so far, blooming nicely. nice backbone with very soft tips. Both brushes great for face lathering.

handle on right was my great grandfathers brush, a barber by trade in 1920-30s New York. Ive got his straight and strop also.

These are my 2nd and 3rd re-knots. My good buddy CyberJCM plans to keep me busy with 4 brushes to do this coming week. And with a lathe and some turning stock on its way, let the fun begin!!!

they turned out nice, I love these style ER's
and the history that it was your great grandfathers brush makes it even better

100T's are very underrated. They are nice and light, and feel great in your hand when in use. Shavemac redid one for me with a 47mm loft and slightly less backbone than normal. It's by far my favorite brush.

Both look great. I like the best badger knot - plenty soft.

Can we name them "Goofus and Gallant"?
