"Light bulb" brush

[ERS4]

This concept is not original to me.
I was impressed once at a B&B by a gentleman posted his deceased friend/brother's shaving supplies, including a homemade brush with a light bulb thread handle. (I can't find that post again)

I really like the idea of this, and I also like that the lamp holder can be replaced as the handle shell at will.
After a lapse of time, I decided to re-implement this idea. Although I use it is not a light bulb knot.

I did a little easy polishing to make the thread look smoother.
It doesn't respond to magnetism, so maybe chrome-plated brass or aluminum.

Cool work. What happens when you plug it in

...it dries very fast...

My bride will roll her eyes.
(Although I really thought about plugging it to my roof)

And now the other way round! Fill a bulb with epoxy to add weight, make it shatterproof and keep the filament and then set a knot. I guess you would need to keep the metal ring as a collar somehow…

I thought this topic was going to be about some revelation you had about shaving brushes. A "light bulb moment" as they say.

This seems like a great concept and worth trying.
It is a pity that I use spiral electronic light bulbs in my house, and there are no such discarded light bulbs for reuse.

Looking forward to someone who can complete the idea you provide.

Coincidentally, I did just browse the post about "light bouble moment" and reply to the photo of "Gillette token".

Hannes, that's science fiction.

Cool.

Hey, if you decide to make another I have an idea. I wonder if you could use a cheap LED bulb and remove the globe, leave the circuit board and fill it with resin. Then set the knot above it and you might have an under glow brush!

Side note, putting it in a novelty lamp would give guests a laugh and might help dry your brush faster.

Brilliant idea

It is even possible to consider the use of ultraviolet light-emitting elements to achieve the function of eliminating viruses.

I think we may have found the formula for making a fortune during covid.
