My first brush restoration

[pfbarney]

I've been wanting to post this for a while now as I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. At the behest of my wife I started a blog a couple of months ago that gives me a place to keep track of all my different projects and hobbies. Rather than have to re-size the pictures and take up server space I figured I would just link to the post in my blog. I hope this is okay with the powers that be. I'm not trying to generate traffic or anything, I just want to brag about my first restoration.

I really enjoyed reading your blog. It's a great way to tell your story. Best wishes as you tackle the other brush--the first one came out nice.

looks nice, isn't it a great feeling to take a defunct brush and bring it back to shaving life. I hope you really enjoy using it.
