Reknotted Triumph

[SliceOfLife]

So I had this Triumph brush from Czechoslovakia.

It was originally a trimmed flat top boar brush... Basically a broom and it shed like crazy.

I first reknotted it with a 20mm boar brush from another vintage brush... was a nice scrubby knot, but also shed like crazy.

Here's try two... a 19mm Pure badger knot from a Duke 1. Set at 40mm... Gives nice lather and has decent backbone... the prickle of Pure badger at this low loft is definitely there, but I don't mind.

Looks good. Looks like a very small handle as well.

Nicely done!

Thank you.

It is quite small. A Nice little travel brush. I was surprised I was able to open it up to 20mm. Original was ~15mm iirc.
