Restored my Simpson Berkeley 46 and made a new travel brush!

Really happy how they turned out. Those tgn brush knots are super dense and packed! Vanessa at tgn was nice enough to give me some pointers. The travel brush handle is from cologne bottle that I liked the looks of. What do you folks think? Anyways - wishing everyone a great weekend !

Thank you so much - I’ve tried it out - it’s a tiny brush but creates a lot of lather

What size knot is that in the Berkeley?

What size knot is that in the Berkeley?

I purchased a 20mm knot from tgn - but I had to enlarge the hole with a dremel. The base of the knot was 20mm but it flared up to let’s say 23mm. So I ended up flaring the hole up carefully to achieve the desire loft.

A new Berk is 19mm, I think.

Love the Celtic/Viking knotwork on the travel brush!

Although both are nice, I especially like the little travel brush. That has inspired me to pay closer attention to bottle caps.
