my setup

My brush arrived today, back from the capable hands of NexlevMM. Here it is, with mug and lather bowl.

and here it is under blacklight.

That is very distinctive!!! Very nice, enjoy it!

 

[shave~extacy]

I like it very cool.

Vaseline glass is cool stuff. Was it originally a shaving brush handle? The reason I ask, I have an aunt that has a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) collection of Vaseline glass and I have never seen a Vaseline shaving brush.

 

[amishmotorboat]

No. It was originally a candlestick holder, and I had it cut off to a more useable size.

Very cool looking handle, love the Black light shot

 

[Gigster]

I would have never guessed a candlestick holder. Awesome!

My aunt has a few salt and pepper shakers that would make excellent brush candidates. When I told her this. . .she thought I had lost my mind - ruining perfectly good Vaseline glass. lol

Very unique! Thanks for posting.

 

[craig94yj]

Love it.

 

[Goober]

Wow. That is too cool.

I didn't even know NexlevMM did that kind of work.

LOL! Well, i dont do glasswork or anything like that. But I can be commissioned to place a knot or restore a handle. I didnt even know that handle glowed under a blacklight, very cool indeed!!

Quite interesting!

I can just see it now...the year 2099 Badger&Blade forum question. " I found this brush at a estate sale. Can anyone here tell me where this unique brush came from? There is no manufacturer stamp on brush". Thats gonna have the historians scratching thier collective heads <G>.

Good! Why should they have it any easier than us?

True - true - the perverbial Piltdown Brush.

Sensational use of uranium glass. When you lather does it glow too? Now THAT would be cool!

 

[shaveME2]

That looks cool. I once saw a set of glassware of this type and thought it was odd but nice. You made something unique that would make a nice heirloom piece IMO.

 

[amishmotorboat]

Just how aften do you shave under a black light? Great looking setup!

I haven't yet. At present all I have is the flashlight with UV setting. I would like to try it once though.

When I saw your set up I immediately thought of one of my splashes (one of my favourites accidently). Guerlain´s Vetiver.
