My first brush resto

[Antares600]

I put a 20mm Whipped Dog silvertip into this butterscotch Ever Ready handle.

Restoration was probably about as easy as it gets:
First I put the old knot in a vice and it just popped right out when I pulled on the handle.
Then I just used Duco Cement to secure the new knot and let it dry overnight in front of a heat register. That's it!

I already used it 3-4 times and it's holding up very well.

I don't have a before pic but the knot was very worn, smelly and in ugly shape.

Nice! Similar to one I just did with a 20mm WD silvertip, only I like your butterscotch handle more than the one I have. Happy shaving!

That's awesome! I want to do a restoration one day. What is a good source for the knots?
