My Lucky handle has a new knot

[gearchow]

I bought a red and black Ever-Ready brush handle from Lucky in this thread:

(he didn't leave the picture though ), but just imagine it. He drilled it out and polished it up very nice. He mentioned that he also had a knot for sale if I wanted it. A TGN 22mm finest. Sure, why not?

So with just a little bit of cleaning up the hole, here it is:

Man, that was a simple restore!! I got it sitting right at 45mm loft. I think it's going to be great face lathering brush. It will see soap and water tonight.

Thanks for doing all the work Captain!

That's a sharp brush. Reds like that give butterscotch a run for its money any day.

Very nice, Jim. Keep us posted on how she does as you break her in!

Wow!......that one came out niceeee. You got the 22mm finest to fit perfect. With the loft set at 45 I know you are going to be happy with this one Jim....well done!

Jim...here is the picture from the thread......

I want to see how the other two turn out as well. The black and tan on the right and and the butterscotch on the left.

Nice work...at 45mm that should make a perfect brush.

That old red/black really is a sharp looking handle. Why are modern handles so boring?
