First, a big THANK YOU to all who have posted to this restoration thread and shared their tips on restorations. An especially big thanks to all who shared what they did wrong. You certainly saved me from some similar mistakes. This has been a very fun learning experience and continues to be so. Thank you, everyone, for being so generous with your advice and pics.

That Sanax is my favorite, but they all look great. How would you compare the F2 to the standard?

Awesome job on the brushes!

I think that the Sanax is my favorite also. The F2, I think is a fantastic knot, especially at its price point. I was very surprised at how good it is. Nice soft tips, good backbone and flow through. It has a great bulb shape like my Simpsons 2-bands. I wish it were a tad more dense. But for the price, I was very impressed.

Your "Chocolate Butterscotch" has caught my attention. It looks close the the color of my "Burgundy" Whipped Dog handle. Since I see very little if any red in mine, your name of "Chocolate Butterscotch" may better identify it. It is a very regal color no matter what it is called.
