Thanks to a great trade from Stephen (member Malache), I have restored a really cool looking brush with classic space age styling, an EverReady 200T. I polished it with polishing compound and added a coat of automotive wax. The knot is a whipped dog silvertip, 20mm, set at about 46mm loft. The whipped dog knot is plenty dense, susprisingly so, super soft, but not a great deal of backbone. In short, a perfect face lathering, soft soap and cream brush. My dear wife looked at my brushes and said that they are all starting to look the same. She's right. They're mostly vintage, with 18 - 20mm silvertip knots set at about 46 - 48mm loft.

Thank you all for the kind words. I debated sanding it down further to remove more tiny nicks, but decided not to. One of the real attractions of this brush was the sharp edges that make it so stylish. I was afraid any further sanding would dull these edges.
That is a fine looking brush!
Excellent Job!!
