My Little Travel Brush Restore...mmm butter.

Did this little butterscotch restore recently. It has a 16mm knot, set at 42mm. It is an old German handle that I bought in an Ebay lot. I have my Rooney 3/1 in the pic for comparison.

What do you think?
 
Well, let me know how it shaves! I should be getting it back in a little while, so I might post a picture in here too.
 
I've been eyeing that knot myself. How does it lather?

I don't think you would want to use it everyday. It's just to small ... imo. I think the best use is to face lather, while reloading the brush between passes. It simply will not hold enough lather. But, it gives you something to play with.

I was thinking of it for a travel brush. I think I'll go ahead and get it and give it a go.

I mostly got it for a travel brush. Maybe a "change of pace" brush every now and then too.

Where did you get the 16mm knot? Can't see them on the TGN site. Just interested.

Edit: Just had another look and it is on the TGN website!

The Wee Scot gives me enough lather for three passes.
 
Really excellent work.

meats.....Gary's Shoebox Shave Shop had Simpson's Case tubes for sale last time I looked....but a pill bottle works too.
