Hoffritz "1346" w/ 2-Band

[markh58]

Gary Carrington restored this butterscotch Hoffritz and reknoted it with a TGN 2-Band. The pic below is the bloom after 2 shaves.



The pic really doesn't do it justice. The knot has a rootbeer hue to the 2nd band which is sweet when seen in person against the dark butterscotch handle.
GD did his usual magic and I could not be more please.

I'm waiting on the arrival of a couple more of GD restores/reknots: Kent VF5 w/TGN 20mm Super Badger, Readleaf w/26mm Super 2 Band, Montclair w/20mm TGN Finest XH. They can't get here fast enough, I'll post pics as soon as they arrive.

Thanks GD !

Correction --- GD reknoted this beauty not with a TGN 2-Band but a Custom 2-Band. One of which I am enjoying very very much...!

Looks good enough to eat!

I am glad you are enjoying it. I really enjoyed restoring it and from a knot standpoint actually upgrading it.

The original knot was a three band that I found while performing a quick hair cleaning to be completely worn out (collapsed with water on hairs).

So the knot I placed in it is a custom 2 band which I find to be exquisite to the touch.

Here is a "before" and "after" photo of the brush.

May it serve you in good health for many years to come!

I'll make sure and post the before/after pics of the Kent, Redleaf and Montclair ASAP. At some point (meaning the collection of funds) I'll choose knots for a Hoffritz Barrel and 424 that are coming to me also.

"exquisite to the touch" is spot on. It is every bit as firm as my RV with Finest Badger but with softer tips. A real joy to use and releases lather like a champ.

After about 5 to 10 uses, it really begins to settle in and you will enjoy it even more.

The same Custom 2 Band knot used in this handle is the same as used the Made Rite as shown in the thread below.
